Then we should eliminate corporations, patents, copyrights, various licenses and all the law that goes with them.

Patents and copyrights are constitutionally authorized by the feds. The rest belong to the states and the people, not the feds.

Thank you.

“Patents and copyrights are constitutionally authorized by the feds.”

Which enables the “government coercion or interference” you write against.

“The rest belong to the states...not the feds.”

By which I take you to mean the state governments not the federal government. But “government” is “government” and you didn’t distinguish between state governments and the federal government when you wrote “government coercion or interference”.

By the way, you wrote “Patents and copyrights are constitutionally authorized by the feds” but I don’t think “the feds” constitutionally authorized anything here. The United States Constitution authorizes patents and copyrights and it also authorizes the Federal Government, though not necessarily everything the Federal Government does.

Perhaps the opening sentence of the piece you wrote does not clearly state what you want to state. Perhaps you believe some Federal and or State government coercion and interference are appropriate, say in the areas of patents, copyrights, various licenses and so forth.
