Capitalism and free-market economics aren't forced on anyone at all. They are what free humans will do with each other absent gross interference. The core and essence of it is
mutually beneficial transactions: swappings, however the string of details of these exchanges, of something that each trader values of the other more than the thing he has available for exchange. Each party gets the thing he values more than the thing he had. That's all there is to it. There's a lot about mutually beneficial transactions on the 'Net.
Where "forcing" may come in, and indeed the only place it really can, is in the forcing of those who hitherto interfered grossly to cease their interference with a free market. That's anything from "You stop that now," and he does, to lethal force. Once the gross interference is stopped, the win-win, and even win-win-win and more, begins.
Only people utterly without faith in human common sense think otherwise. Those schooled in human common sense tend to sound like me.
