Libertarianism holds that the only proper role of violence is to defend person and property against violence, that any use of violence that goes beyond such just defense is itself aggressive, unjust, and criminal. Libertarianism, therefore, is a theory which states that everyone should be free of violent invasion, should be free to do as he sees fit, except invade the person or property of another. What a person does with his or her life is vital and important, but is simply irrelevant to libertarianism.<br /><br />https://mises.org/library/myth-and-truth-about-libertarianismBob Roddishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263804608074597937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-13186447768756603452018-10-24T12:09:45.674-04:002018-10-24T12:09:45.674-04:00When the taxation authority and power of the State...<i>When the taxation authority and power of the State is sufficient backing for any money form accepted?</i><br /><br />The fundamental principle of Rothbardians like myself is the strict abolition of the initiation of violence.
