No one may threaten or commit violence ('aggress') against another man's person or property. violence may be employed only against the man who commits such violence; that is, only defensively against the aggressive violence of another. in short, no violence may be employed against a non-aggressor. here is the fundamental rule from which can be deduced the entire corpus of libertarian theory.

Why suspend the habeas corpus in insurrections and rebellions? examine the history of england. see how few of the cases of the suspension of the habeas corpus law have been worthy of that suspension. they have been either real treasons, wherein the parties might as well have been charged at once, or sham plots, where it was shameful they should ever have been suspected. yet for the few cases wherein the suspension of the habeas corpus has done real good, that operation is now become habitual and the minds of the nation almost prepared to live under its constant suspension.

Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.

In my humble opinion, non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good. but in the past, non-cooperation has been deliberately expressed in violence to the evildoer. i am endeavoring to show my countrymen that violent non-cooperation only multiplies evil and that evil can only be sustained by violence. withdrawal of support of evil requires complete abstention from violence. non-violence implies voluntary submission to the penalty for non-cooperation with evil.

The purpose of any military is to kill people and break things. it's not to advance anybody's social agenda. it's not a laboratory for the left's social ideas or playgrounds. it is to kill people and break things, and the second rule is that the aggressor in any conflict sets the rules. and if they violate an existing rule book, then so be it. the aggressor sets the rules, and right now, putin is setting the rules.

The one object of fifty years of abstract art is to present art-as-art and as nothing else, to make it into the one thing it is only, separating and defining it more and more, making it purer and emptier, more absolute and more exclusive - non-objective, non-representational, non-figurative, non-imagist, non-expressionist, non-subjective. the only and one way to say what abstract art or art-as-art is, is to say what it is not.
