DEATH BY GOVERNMENT: GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER

All told, governments killed more than 262 million people in the 20th century outside of wars, according to University of Hawaii political science professor R.J. Rummel. Just to give perspective on this incredible murder by government, if all these bodies were laid head to toe, with the average height being 5', then they would circle the earth ten times. Also, this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century. Finally, given popular estimates of the dead in a major nuclear war, this total democide is as though such a war did occur, but with its dead spread over a century

What does it mean to be Libertarian?

Misleading questions with misleading answers.

There is a debate where one side focuses on the fact that business owners used chattel slavery to make money, while the other side focuses on the fact that without government support, slavery could not have been as profitable as it was.

In reply to a writers quip, "Libertarians would love to lay slavery at the feet of government precisely because slavery is a sin of capitalism", I gave this answer:

Libertarians don't need to "lay slavery at the feet of government". We lay slavery at the feet of aggressive individuals. "Government" is a collective term whose definition is slippery. The guilt of any crime is "laid at the feet" of individuals, not collections of individuals.

Instead of spending time arguing over words like "slavery", "government", and "capitalism", let's get down to the basics. I think a lot of confusion is stirred up when we frame the libertarian agenda as "anti-government". Libertarians are largely anti-government, but that's not a core principle. The core libertarian principle is non-initiation of force. Libertarians are against the "first use" of "non-defensive" force against person or property.

The Non-Aggression Principle is the root of all libertarian principles. When any individual (whether in a group or singly) uses aggressive force, libertarians are against it.

The goal of libertarianism is a peaceful and prosperous society based on individual liberty, property rights, and individual responsibility, instead of what we have now; a blood-soaked "might makes right" culture of dominance and force.
