Stephan Kinsella Quotes About Aggression

• To be an anarchist only means that you believe that aggression is not justified, and that states necessarily employ aggression. And, therefore, that states, and the aggression they necessarily employ, are unjustified. It's quite simple, really. It's an ethical view, so no surprise it confuses utilitarians.

  Believe, Mean, Simple

• Because the state necessarily commits aggression, the consistent libertarian, in opposing aggression, is also an anarchist.

  Libertarian, Anarchy, Anarchist

• The libertarian approach is a very symmetrical one: the non-aggression principle does not rule out force, but only the initiation of force. In other words, you are permitted to use force only in response to some else's use of force. If they do not use force you may not use force yourself. There is a symmetry here: force for force, but no force if no force was used.
