The Non-Aggression Principle is an innate social construct within all of us. It is the guidepost for natural law. The principle rejects the initiation of force in all its various forms, and naturally, it does not bar victims of coercion from responding in self-defense.
Communities based on this principle are completely free from legal coercion and all human interactions are voluntary. They're often referred to as voluntaryist communities, recognizing that with voluntaryism the Non-Aggression Principle will be the final arbiter in detailing the type of "isms" that blossom.

Free societies are essential, not just for their efficiency at cultivating personal responsibility, self-sufficiency, prosperity, charity, and peace, but because self-ownership is the sovereign right of every individual in a humane society.

Our goal is to make clear that social issues of aggression, crime, poverty, healthcare, and environmental abuse are never solved politically; that the proper, most effective solutions will be found in a competitive free market - where individuals can freely pursue and support solutions that help them - as opposed to having costly and ineffective solutions forced upon them by the State.
We also raise awareness of issues that affect individual freedom and promote strategic actions like "agorism" that can peacefully replace tyranny with a free society.

Sharing a belief that free markets and voluntary social arrangements can be the basis of a peaceful and prosperous world, we members of various liberty-seeking organizations agree, as individuals, to cooperate, share information, and, as appropriate and practical, mutually support, or at least not impede, our varied and often sharply different efforts to increase individual freedom.” - Karl Hess

STRATEGIC ACTIONS
 Political Activism: There are those who believe that political reform is the way to go, that we ought to work from within the system to gradually reduce the state's power until it can be successfully challenged by private concerns.
While this seems like the most sensible approach, it is costly, time-consuming, inefficient, and worse, it employs the same divisive tactic that has increased state power. Some argue that participation in the state's political apparatus serves nothing more than to legitimize it. RELEVANT LINKS:

 Restoration: Some believe that forced restoration is the only plausible method to limit the state to its constitutional purpose that safeguards “individual freedom.” Considering the extensive resources at the state's disposal the prospect for a successful outcome may seem dismal, but there are a multitude of encouraging factors to consider when assessing this last recourse.
It’s irrelevant whether liberty was achieved through a constitution, Objectivism, anarcho-capitalism, or voluntaryism; it must the same be secured directly by the people in a decentralized fashion. No free society can remain free without the education necessary to understand freedom and the vigilance to secure it.

A well regulated Militia refers to “the Militia of the several

should be the militia’s respective commander unless the Governor’s political interests conflict with the values of a free state.
The duty of all patriots is to secure the US Constitution’s nonpartisan ideals of liberty.
Should liberty be lost to the political corruption of a police state, responsible citizens shall face the propaganda for what it is, abandon politics for the

Constitutional Militia are State government institutions organized under statute, thoroughly civilian in character with full constitutional legal authority. Militia are largely outside the jurisdiction of the General Government, no contemporary form of "gun control" can be applied to them. Revitalizing "the Militia of the several States" is not advancing some "anti-government" agenda, but restoring constitutional self-government.

 Agorism: Rather than force to achieve a voluntary society free of the state, many believe
the best approach is to 'participate as a voluntary society' despite the state. In other words, ignore the state, withdraw consent, become
self-sufficient, use alternative currencies, ignore tax codes, state regulations and licenses.
Agorists utilize concepts conciliated in Carl Watner's Voluntaryist Resistance or Samuel Konkin's An Agorist Primer to engage in this "counter-economics" as a strategy to build self-reliance and reduce state dependence. RELEVANT LINKS:

The Non-Aggression Principle
is an innate social construct within all of us that affirms the mutual right to self-ownership. It is the guidepost for natural law and authenticates a social contract of individual rights.

Fundamentals of Voluntaryism
|
|
Introduction
Voluntaryism is the doctrine that relations among people should be by mutual consent, or not at all. It represents a means, an end, and an insight. Voluntaryism does not argue for the specific form that voluntary arrangements will take; only that force be abandoned so that individuals in society may flourish. As it is the means which determine the end, the goal of an all voluntary society must be sought voluntarily. People cannot be coerced into freedom.

Murray Rothbard: Destroys a Common Statist Argument
|
Introduction
The Voluntaryists are advocates of non-political strategies to achieve a free society. We reject electoral politics, both in theory and practice, as incompatible with libertarian principles. Governments must cloak their actions in an aura of moral legitimacy in order to sustain their power, and political methods invariably strengthen that legitimacy. Voluntaryists seek instead to delegitimize the State through education, and we advocate withdrawal of the cooperation and tacit consent on which State power ultimately depends. Voluntaryists are exclusively committed to using nonviolent strategies to oppose the State. The purpose of this paper is to show why this commitment is a function of voluntaryism and how voluntaryist resistance differs from conventional nonviolence theory.
I. What Is Voluntaryism?
Voluntaryism is a dual doctrine: a) the belief that all human interactions should be voluntary; and b) that the State is an inherently coercive institution, and therefore undeserving of any support. The voluntaryist understanding of the relationship between means and ends precludes both the use of electoral politics and violence. This is the distinguishing mark of voluntaryism, that we are, at once, both nonviolent and nonelectoral.
Voluntaryism is at once an end, a means, and an insight. It signifies the goal of an all voluntary society, one in which all interaction between individuals is based on voluntary exchange, and thus calls for the abolition of the State. Voluntaryism represents a way of achieving significant social change without resort to politics or violent revolution. c o n t i n u e . . .

Ron Paul: Voluntaryist

. . . look to the past for guidelines about a free society's ideal defense, they must pass over the traditional militia system. Despite its appealing decentralist rhetoric and its close ties with the American Revolution, it was from the very core a coercive system, one clearly inimical to liberty. Instead, they should cast their eyes upon the volunteer militia of the Jacksonian period. Although maligned by military historians, forgotten by all others, and corrupted by post-Civil War statism, it is the one military precedent that most closely embodies libertarian precepts.
- Jeffrey Rogers Hummel
The American Militia and the Origin of Conscription: A Reassessment
The militia system was originally transplanted to the American colonies from England. At the outset, it was grounded in the principle of universal obligation. Practices differed widely from colony to colony, but everywhere the militia had two coercive elements. First, it enrolled every able-bodied male between certain ages (usually sixteen to sixty), with only a few exemptions.
