Talk:Libertarian pledge

2008 comments
I was going to include this comment but I think it's kinda off-base: According to Andrew Rogers: Government is force. Political power is coercive power. And that makes politics itself a violation of the much-vaunted LP membership pledge ("I do not believe in or advocate the initiation of force as a means of achieving political or social goals"). Even LPers for whom politics is purely defensive should recognize that. Aldrich Hanssen (talk) 12:15, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Key problem in that statement: Initiation :D--Darkmusashi (talk) 00:51, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Schwartz article
Not sure how useful this article is, since he seems to be confused about the difference between Objectivism and libertarianism, but here it is.  Tisane  talk/stalk 05:37, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Has the wording of the pledge changed?
The current pledge found on the Libertarian Party website is different than the one contained in this article. The LP website says, "To validate my membership, I certify that I oppose the initiation of force to achieve political or social goals."

Here's a direct comparison between Wikipedia's claimed version of the pledge (top) and the actual pledge on the LP website (bottom):

"I hereby certify that I do not believe in or advocate the initiation of force as a means of achieving political or social goals."

"To validate my membership, I certify that I oppose the initiation of force to achieve political or social goals."
