The non aggression principle allows self defense.  You commies started
this, we are going to finish it.

Self defense has to be collective to be effective, and collective self
defense is apt to become not very libertarian, let alone anarchist, at

in which the non aggression principle is observed, because of what
happens when it is not observed.
