How about we solve society's problems without taking other people's property with violence or threat of violence?

Exactly. Make private property “owners” give it back to the public.

You're saying "exactly" and then advocate exactly the opposite of what I'm talking about. "Making" somebody do something with their property is the very definition of violence.

I was being a bit tongue in cheek, but all of your private property originally came from the commons. It seems arbitrary to call retrieving stolen property violence, but not the original theft.
