The libertarian creed rests on the so-called "axiom of non-aggression." The entire world has the right to be free from aggression. The right of self-possession and the right to colonize set down the complete series of principles of the libertarian creed. As a consequence of the foregoing, libertarians favor the right of unrestricted private property and free interchange, meaning the "laissez-faire" capitalist system.
The libertarian notes that throughout history, the principal aggressor has been the "State" because it failed to respect the rights of the individual and of property. Let us take, for example, the institution of taxation. If we know that the nature of tax is "voluntary," we cannot fail to soon realize that the government acquires its income solely through restrictive violence. According to the author, this can be considered a "hidden guise of banditry" since it is, in reality, legalized and organized theft on a large scale. For the same reason, the libertarian considers that one of his principal tasks is to spread the demystification and desecration of the State.
