I can see how John Rawls and Robert Nozick influenced your thinking.
Again, how can you guarantee that individuals would be motivated to produce goods and services?
No. The difference between me and you is that I believe the initiation of force is always wrong, that is where I draw the line. You go way over this line and believe the initiation of force on non violent people is justified. This isn't a preference like you like McDonalds and I like KFC, Red Vs. Blue. We have a difference in moral principles.
Money solves motivation, capitalism has legendary motivation, virtually any service or product you can think of, and there is a person willing to give you that for the right price. The opposite of capitalism, is stealing, coersion and war.
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
