Marketism/initiation of violence

From CWRE
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Marketists argue[1] that there is never any just cause to initiate violence[2] (also known as the non-aggression principle) but also that threats to initiate violence qualify as initiation of violence[3].

This leaves open the following questions:

  • Does any lethal threat qualify, or is there a "credibility" criterion?
    • If a threat must be credible, how do we make that determination?
  • Is escalation acceptable (i.e. responding with greater force than was threatened)?
    • If so, is there any limit on how much escalation is acceptable?
