Non-aggression principle
The non-aggression principle is one of the most important basic ideas of libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism . The philosophy of libertarianism is based on non-aggression because any aggression violates the freedom of others. This principle states that the use of force or the threat of it is only permitted as self-defense and, in the eyes of some theorists, as punishment.
Derivation
The principle of non-aggression is justified by the fact that every person is the sole owner of his own body and has the sole right of disposal (the freedom to use the property without restriction at his own discretion) over it. The same goes for the wealth created with the help of one's own body .
