This is my quick response, I couldn't post a response on the above-named blog...
Yes, you could say "Freedom = Violence". But only because the Capitalist Freedom believes in the inalienable right of every American (British, Australian, etc) to live as s/he desires regardless of the consequences to anyone else (outside of our country, thank you very much). Free Trade Agreements? how "free" do you think they really are? Has America stopped subsidizing it's farmers yet? I don't think so, yet America yells and screams for everyone else to cut tariffs to create an 'equal playing field', while giving it's own a giant leap into the stratosphere. South Korea has been planting rice for centuries and has the capacity to grow enough rice for it's population, yet subsized American rice undercuts market rates.
This is what us loonies in Peace Studies (and other associated fields) would call Structural Violence in the Name of Freedom. The real question is "Freedom for whom?", because it isn't freedom for all.
