violence, conquest, enclosure, and subjugation

i agree that these are unethical means to obtain property. i don't see, however, how this makes property unethical. if i am using some farmland that i obtained in an ethical manner though some voluntary exchange (or perhaps i rent), how would you go about abolishing my property rights without resorting to violence? would it be unethical for me to get the lads together and kill you for trying to appropriate my land? this is our livelihood, mind you. without the farm we have nothing, but i think we provide a valuable service to the community and we spend our profits locally, except for things that aren't manufactured nearby. is our capitalist farm really so bad that you have to come take it away from us?
