Sorry, I thought it was obvious from context that I was talking about forcing people not to work at particular jobs. Which is what a noncompete is. You say you won't do X, and if you do X they ask the government to force you to stop doing X. If you refuse to comply long enough, men with guns will come and drag you away (contempt of court, and if you keep going, resisting arrest). So yeah, force. "Come and see the violence inherent in the system" and all that.
