“My personal definition of libertarianism for over a decade has been that liberty is the core principle, and on every issue, you put liberty first, grounded in individualism, private property rights, and the NAP. Though I probably need to update my definition slightly. Dave Smith’s definition of libertarianism, put roughly, is self-ownership, private property rights, and the non-aggression principle (NAP) — the idea that no one may initiate force against another person or their property. He describes this as a philosophically consistent foundation that avoids circular reasoning, emphasizing that libertarianism rejects government as a monopoly on the use of force. So why is he advocating for socialist state borders and mass deportations if this is an initiation of force against another person, which is part of his own definition of libertarianism — and thus goes against it?” (12/15/25)
