Libertarian Philosophy
May 18th, 2010 . by adminLIBERTARIAN PHILOSOPHY
Libertarians do not believe in the initiation of force to attain political or social value. We call this “The Non-Aggression Principle.” Another way of putting it is that the ends do not justify using aggressive force as the means. The purpose of any government (Libertarians say, the only purpose) is to protect the rights of all people. Any power government may exercise that does not have the consent of the governed is unjust.
Libertarian philosophy was eloquently expressed in 1776 in the Declaration of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men* are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
The Declaration of Independence is as revolutionary today as it was in the eighteenth century.

Here’s a video clip in which I explain Libertarian philosophy.

As the Pyramid of Power below illustrates, there are various levels, or degrees of aggression-through-government—all of them unjust and unconstitutional.

With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d definitely appreciate it.
