If my family isn't eating and society is cool with that I could not care less about a label that such a society gives me.

Again, society can get ahead of things, or let it be decided later. The harder you make option 2, the more people will pick option 1. Society can figure out how to keep option 2 working if society prefers that. If society fails to do so it will deservedly get option 1.

I think you have the options mixed up. Option 1 is voluntary trade. Option 2 is violence.

You appear to be saying that people would prefer voluntary trade, but that they will resort to violence if they see no other option. Which historically I think is largely true.
