Smith completely ignores the fact that Jill has the moral right to defend herself from Jack's aggression with physical force up to and including homocide. Jill's freedom does not depend solely on Jack's assessment. If he initiates force, she may retaliate with force. He is correct that there are two types of freedom, I say liberty, negative and positive. Except positive liberty is not freedom because it requires the initiatory use of force. It 's all quite simple. In Libertopia all actions are allowed except those involving the initiatory use of force, threats of force or fraud. Government authority is limited to the retaliatory use of force. You see it's the TYPE of force the government uses that matters. The governemnt doesn't need to tax since it is so small non coercive means of funding suffice. There are only 3 things that need to be done to save ourselves: Get rid of the Fed Repeal the 17th amendment Adopt this as the 28th amendment, Article 1 No person may initiate force, threats of force, or fraud against any other person's self or property. Article 2 Force may be used against those who violate Article 1. Article 3 No exceptions shall exist for Articles 1 and 2.
