That Oh So Squishy "NAP"

Kudos go out to Julian Sanchez of REASON. His blog Libertarianism: Phenotype or Genotype? ought to be required reading for those who fancy themselves theorists of liberty and, specifically, the so-called Non-Aggression Principle (NAP).

Sanchez points out that a socialist could be an adherent to non-aggression, it's just that they have a different view of property rights than, say, Murray Rothbard did.

Therefore, those who cling to NAP cling to not much of anything. NAP simply isn't the unified field theory of political philosophy.

I see no flaws in Sanchez's assertion. Do you?

-Robert Capozzi
