Why must the justified use of force satisfy conditions not only of defensiveness but proportionality? Should force ever be used against innocents? What about innocent threats? Innocent shields? These are some of the most challenging questions, not just for libertarianism, but any moral-political theory, and getting them right is literally a matter of life or death. It\u2019s my hope that this discussion brings more clarity to your thinking on the most gravely important issue facing us.&amp;nbsp; The Justice and Prudence of War: Toward a Libertarian Analysis  https:\/\/mises.org\/mises-daily\/justice-and-prudence-war-toward-libertarian-analysis&amp;nbsp; The Irrelevance of Responsibility https:\/\/praxeology.net\/RTL-irrelevance.pdf&amp;nbsp; Abortion, Abandonment, and Positive Rights https:\/\/praxeology.net\/RTL-Abortion.htm&amp;nbsp; Comment on Stephen Kershnar\u2019s \u201cThe Moral Case for a Policy of Assassination\u201d https:\/\/praxeology.net\/kershnar-assassin.htm &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"The Long Library","author_url":"https:\/\/c4ss.org\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/37449400\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/37449400"}
