I understand your point, but it is still not the same. He doesn't have to give away his wealth in order to spend reward pool money. The reward pool is owned by the Steem community and distributed according to a set of unnatural rules.

capitalism itself is an unnatural rule. Private property can only exist through force
"He doesn't have to give away his wealth in order to spend reward pool money."
that has nothing to do with capitalism. Its just investment capital, the most destructive form.

Isn't the same true for public property? Is force not a natural phenomena?

Provided all the users are in agreement on how the property is to be used. When disagreement happens use of force is common. The same happens with private property. As long as other people agree that the property belongs to someone, there is no need for force.

the use of force is also arbitrary. Using it to uphold social constructs that would not normally arise is not natural. (Unless you want to argue everything that exists is natural)

A being that occupies a previously unoccupied space has a natural right to that space. Regardless of social construct, that right is established.

"that right is established."
That's not a logical argument. A right is not a real physical thing, just an idea.
