Non-Aggression Principle

The non-aggression principle (also called the non-aggression axiom, or the anti-coercion or zero aggression principle or non-initiation of force) is an ethical stance which asserts that "aggression" is inherently illegitimate. "Aggression" is defined as the "initiation" of physical force against persons or property, the threat of such, or fraud upon persons or their property. In contrast to pacifism, the non-aggression principle does not preclude violent self-defense. The principle is a deontological (or rule-based) ethical stance. The non-aggression principle is the foundation of the Libertarian Party.

The Libertarian Party is not just a political organization. We are a group of dedicated, inspired, and highly motivated Libertarian candidates and activists determined to reduce the size and scope of intrusive government and private organizations seeking to use government power against their competition and the people.
