Murray Rothbard argues for the non-aggression principle as the foundation of a free and prosperous society, emphasizing the importance of individual rights and property rights.
Well no because this entire anarcho capitalist society that I'm suggesting is founded upon an ethical principle first devised in this way by the philosopher Murray Rothbard, what's known as the non-aggression principle.
Murray Rothbard would want to stress that any organization in this type of society would need to be founded on a principle of non-aggression where each person understanding how important it is to respect the natural rights and property rights of others, understanding that that's what allows for society to be able to function at all in this world the vast majority of people would agree that initiating force against others is inherently wrong, that you can argue with people, you can completely disagree with how they live their life, you can hire private arbitration companies to mediate a dispute between you and them but there should never be a situation where initiating force against someone else or their property is seen as the correct course of action.
