Yes, the government's income should be through competition in food, housing, clothing, transportation, and other necessities. The government would have the means to coordinate production and distribution to high efficiency...
There is no way, nor reason to abolish the free market. Life is more than necessities.

the revolt by force will not change the situation, how many times this method has been used and we are still at the same point, the politician with the times have learned to manage the revolution by violence, this time we must change our strategy.

The government could not coordinate its way out of a paper bag. They are what's stifling the free market.
You seem to believe that government is the only problem and that our markets represent freedom. What many right-wing Libertarians such as yourself fail to realize is that, regardless of the government, the economic system is inherently oppressive/tyrannical in and of itself. The markets, along with governments, represent a conjoined monster that tyrannizes both the masses of humanity and the ecosystems of the planet. Without government you still will not be free, please consider economic tyrannies more deeply:

Again, I ask WHICH government are you refering to??? The french one, as per this thread, or another?
I'm sorry but it really sounds like you are in a different country and experiencing something different than the french do.

..... But I'm confused..... it sounds like you are not in France?? Am I mistaken? I mean the real estate crash and all that which didn't happen here....in France you would be living off your retirement now, going on cruises and such.
The idea of losing that retirement (90% of your salary at time of retirement) in a revolution would probably not make you hurry to join the younguns in destroying the system. Especially if they have no plan for a new system of government they want to install, they just plan on throwing out the present one and........?
