paragraph_text: Non-aggression principle
  
  The non-aggression principle asserts that aggression against an individual or an individual's property is always an immoral violation of life, liberty, and property rights. Utilizing deceit instead of consent to achieve ends is also a violation of the Non-Aggression Principle. Therefore, under the framework of this principle, rape, murder, deception, involuntary taxation, government regulation, and other behaviors that initiate aggression against otherwise peaceful individuals are considered violations. This principle is most commonly adhered to by libertarians. A common elevator pitch for this principle is, "Good ideas don't require force."
