“There is no prohibition of fraud, only the initiatory use of physical violence upon others.”Ĭontrary to popular belief, fraud is a violation of property rights, therefore it is an act of aggression. In regards to the second question posited, because the discovery of how to resolve disputes is spontaneously ordered, there is no way to know ahead of time who would determine who was at fault.ĥ. A free market in adjudication is really the best way to discover how to resolve disputes. However, for those who are open-minded enough to consider the integrity of the NAP, such a question can really only be answered by market dynamics, like the price system. “How would ‘the use of force’ be adjudicated? Who would determine who the initiator was?”Īgain, people who are moral relativists have no business asking this question, because they have already thrown morality out of the window (refer to #3). On the other hand, the NAP includes what the constitutionalists see value in, as well as apply it to government (the NAP would consider all taxation as theft, whereas constitutionalists would equivocate on the type of taxation).Ĥ. From my observations, those who preach the right to self-defense are constitutionalists, and are OK with transgressions upon private property, as long as it’s constitutional. Therefore, the right to self-defense is included within the NAP, but the NAP is more than just an affirmation of the right to self-defense. All propertarian anarchists believe in the defense of private property for themselves and others. The non-aggression principle is restrictive against initiatory force - that’s it.
“The NAP is restrictive, unlike the right to self-defense.” The digressions put forth by feminists are more than likely a non-issue.Ģ. Summarily, I think most people would agree upon the former definition of aggression. Although, if it is defined in the sense of what feminists call “micro-aggressions,” then this definition becomes diluted. If aggression is defined as initiatory force, then that is pretty specific, namely: murder, rape, theft, etc.
The main issue at hand is how one defines aggression. The following are the top 10 misconceptions about the non-aggression principle (NAP).
