(I’m still not 100% clear on how it actually works to be honest) Now we find ourselves in today.

Peace Radicals Episode 59 - The Live and Let Live Movement - A Deep Dive Analysis with Attorneys Marc Victor and Andrew Marcantel.
Live and Let Live is the world’s only real peace movement. The Movement is organized around a fundamental principle we call the Live and Let Live Principle. As greater numbers of people truly accept the Live and Let Live Principle, we will necessarily evolve towards a world predominated by both freedom and peace.
The Live and Let Live Principle essentially holds that aggression is wrong. There is simply no way to achieve a free or peaceful world so long as the law permits people, groups, or governments to aggress against others. With aggression outlawed, competent adults would be entitled to both define and peacefully pursue their happiness.
Competent adults should be in charge of their own lives, property, money, and time. They have the right to be left alone or to peacefully and fairly contract with other competent adults regarding their property.
A free society requires the proper balance between the rights of one person to do whatever they want with their property with the equally important rights of others not to be disturbed in their affairs by the activities of others. This is the essence of freedom. People adhering to the Live and Let Live Principle agree that the initiation of force, fraud, or coercion is wrong in all cases. It remains wrong even if the initiation of force, fraud, or coercion is employed to accomplish desirable moral goals. It is not possible to aggress our way to a peaceful society.
It isn’t only the actual initiation of either force, fraud, or coercion that violates the rights of others. The substantial threat of such an initiation also violates another’s rights. It is for this same reason that we recognize a justified act of self-defense even before an actual use of unjustified force. That we don’t always agree on exactly which particular circumstances allow a justified act of self-defense doesn’t mean we fail to recognize the principle that one need not wait until another’s fist hits their face before such person can legally and properly act to prevent the aggression.

Peace Radicals Episode 57 - Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. Author of the Bestsellers The China Study, Whole and The Low Carb Fraud.
T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. has been dedicated to the science of human health for more than 60 years. His primary focus is on the association between diet and disease, particularly cancer. Although largely known for the China Study–one of the most comprehensive studies of health and nutrition ever conducted and recognized by The New York Times as the “Grand Prix of epidemiology”–Dr. Campbell’s profound impact also includes extensive involvement in education, public policy, and laboratory research.
Dr. Campbell grew up on a dairy farm and was the first in his family to go to college, where he studied pre-veterinary medicine at Pennsylvania State University. After obtaining his bachelor’s degree, and while completing his first year at the University of Georgia veterinary school, he received a telegram from a well-known professor at Cornell University, offering a scholarship and research opportunity too good to turn down. And so he completed his education at Cornell University (M.S., Ph.D.) and MIT (Research Associate) in nutrition, biochemistry, and toxicology. He then spent 10 years on the faculty of Virginia Tech’s Department of Biochemistry and Nutrition before returning to Cornell in 1975 where he presently holds his Endowed Chair as the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry in the Division of Nutritional Sciences. Dr. Campbell’s research experience includes both laboratory experiments and large-scale human studies.
He has received over 70 grant-years of peer-reviewed research funding (mostly with NIH), served on grant review panels of multiple funding agencies, actively participated in the development of national and international nutrition policy, and authored over 350 research papers, most published in peer-reviewed science journals. Throughout his career, he has confronted a great deal of confusion surrounding nutrition and its effects. It is precisely this confusion that he has focused so much on, in recent years. In order to synthesize the findings of his long and rewarding career, and to give back to the public whose lives are threatened by rampant misinformation and special interests, Dr. Campbell co-wrote The China Study: Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health (2005, 2016), which has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 50 foreign languages. He is also the author of The New York Times bestseller Whole (2013), The Low Carb Fraud (2013), and The Future of Nutrition. An Insider’s Look at the Science, Why We Keep Getting It Wrong and How to Start Getting It Right (2020).
Several documentary films feature Dr. Campbell and his research, including Forks Over Knives, Eating You Alive, Food Matters, and PlantPure Nation. He continues to share evidence-based information on health and nutrition whenever given the opportunity. He has delivered hundreds of lectures around the world and he is the founder of the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and the online Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate in partnership with eCornell.

It isn’t only the actual initiation of either force, fraud, or coercion that violates the rights of others. The substantial threat of such an initiation also violates another’s rights. It is for this same reason that we recognize a justified act of self-defense even before an actual use of unjustified force. That we don’t always agree on exactly which particular circumstances allow a justified act of self-defense doesn’t mean we fail to recognize the principle that one need not wait until another’s fist hits their face before such person can legally and properly act to prevent the aggression.

Peace Radicals Episode 48 - Richard Mack - Former Sheriff of Graham County, Arizona.
Peace Radicals Episode 48 - Richard Mack - Former Sheriff of Graham County, Arizona. Richard Mack is a member of The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association.
During his tenure as sheriff, federal officers informed the sheriffs of the state that they would be required to enforce the so-called “Brady Bill” and run background checks at their expense under the law. In 1994, Mack and six other sheriffs from across the country challenged the constitutionality of the Brady Bill and ultimately, fought it all the way to the United States Supreme Court, where they won a monumental decision for freedom. Three years later, in a landmark 5-4 split decision based on the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, Mack won his case.

Marc Victor on Liberty Roundtable with Sam Bushman
Guest: Marc J. Victor, “The Idea the World Needs Now” – “The World’s Only Real Peace Movement”, LiveAndLetLive.org – AttorneysForFreedom.com
Live and Let Live: The Road to Peace Prosperity and Happiness proposes a blueprint on how to interpret, implement and enforce the Live and Let Live Principle to peacefully transition to a world where competent adults both define and pursue their happiness to create a win/win world where we increase happiness while reducing preventable suffering. It lays out the intellectual framework and legal principles underpinning our transition to a more free and peaceful world.
The price we must pay to achieve freedom and peace is that we remove even our own moral views from the law. Instead of imposing our morals, we should inspire others to act morally. The law should simply prohibit all forms of aggression by all individuals and groups. When enough people commit their hearts and minds to live and let live, we will actually achieve and maintain a free and peaceful world. Join us and be part of the solution!

Voluntary is fine, forced is a crime.
We present our case and ask all good people to kindly consider the points made and the proposals put forward and hope that we can motivate you to either join us in our efforts to support this movement or challenge it by scrutinizing any part of it.
"It is our assertion that the only way to create a truly free society, with truly equal rights, is to establish the NAP (Non-Aggression Principle) as the law. A law that is universally applied and established as the terms of a 3 part peace agreement.
For those unfamiliar with the NAP it is essentially a principle that defines crime by whether or not you are causing harm or loss to another (or at least threatening or attempting to).
Many may associate this principle with what is known as Natural Law or Common Law or simply just the basic sense of right and wrong that should apply to all equally.
Ultimately, it is what most people would recognize in their hearts as simple sanity.
If the NAP was established as the law then we would have a free society, almost by default, as governments would no longer be able to rule people and would basically cease to exist in their current form.
In its place, we can still have everything else we associate with government, including law enforcement, because it does not require the power to rule over people to be able to serve and you do not need to violate the NAP to be able to enforce it, which is why this is the only law that could actually be applied 100% equally.
Enforcing the NAP would, by definition, only involve self-defense or the defense of others, so does not require anyone to have more or less rights than anyone else.
There is much more that the Nations Of Sanity offers, with respect to going into more detail and offering various solutions and answers to questions and issues that may arise. We've even drawn up a 3 part agreement that could establish the NAP as law (The Sanity Agreement/Non Aggression Agreement).
But when it comes to what we demand and what we think EVERYONE should unite in demanding, that is basically it.
Make the Non-Aggression Principle the standard for law, a law that applies to everyone equally, and we will have, for the first time in recorded history, a truly free and sane society with true equal rights, true justice, and a level of sanity that is actually worthy of the name."

Peace Talks Episode 3 - Celebrities and Cancel Culture.
Today we delve into Britney Spears and her conservatorship and Dave Chappelle and his latest Netflix special.
Live and Let Live is the world’s only real peace movement. The Movement is organized around a fundamental principle we call the Live and Let Live Principle. As greater numbers of people truly accept the Live and Let Live Principle, we will necessarily evolve towards a world predominated by both freedom and peace. The Live and Let Live Principle essentially holds that aggression is wrong.
There is simply no way to achieve a free or peaceful world so long as the law permits people, groups, or governments to aggress against others. With aggression outlawed, competent adults would be entitled to both define and peacefully pursue their happiness. Competent adults should be in charge of their own lives, property, money, and time. They have the right to be left alone or to peacefully and fairly contract with other competent adults regarding their property.
A free society requires the proper balance between the rights of one person to do whatever they want with their property with the equally important rights of others not to be disturbed in their affairs by the activities of others. This is the essence of freedom. People adhering to the Live and Let Live Principle agree that the initiation of force, fraud, or coercion is wrong in all cases. It remains wrong even if the initiation of force, fraud, or coercion is employed to accomplish desirable moral goals. It is not possible to aggress our way to a peaceful society.
It isn’t only the actual initiation of either force, fraud, or coercion that violates the rights of others. The substantial threat of such an initiation also violates another’s rights. It is for this same reason that we recognize a justified act of self-defense even before an actual use of unjustified force. That we don’t always agree on exactly which particular circumstances allow a justified act of self-defense doesn’t mean we fail to recognize the principle that one need not wait until another’s fist hits their face before such person can legally and properly act to prevent the aggression.

Charles explains his involvement in the freedom movement and how that plays a role in the books that he has written.

In episode 29 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with special guest, Keith Knight. Keith is an associate at the Libertarian Institute and host of the "Don't Tread on Anyone" Podcast. Marc, Andy, and Keith discuss the Live and Let Live Movement and compare and contrast it with the Libertarian Movement. They also talk about Socialism and people who are in favor of or expect to be provided with free things such as healthcare and housing. The three elaborate more on the freedom philosophy and try to decipher the difference between people who understand it and those who don't. They ponder on why the Freedom Movement hasn't been more popular and how the 3L Movement is perceived differently. Marc says that not everyone is reasonable or agrees with the 3LP, but not everyone has to be convinced of it.
In episode 28 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with special guest, Richard Stevens. Richard is a founder of the movement and a lawyer. As a Christian, he explains how the fundamentals of Christianity are compatible with the Live and Let Live Principle (3LP). He elaborates on the golden rule, ten commandments, and falsely accusing people. They discuss the moral values of the movement and further morality within Christianity. Richard explains how the compatibility has lead him to arrive at the Live and Let Live principle and why other Christians should also agree with it. The movement is open to not only Christians but people of all religions.
In episode 27 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with a special guest, Peter Apo. Peter is a Native Hawaiian with a very extensive background as a politician and as a musician. As a Native Hawaiian, Peter has intimate knowledge of what it means to be Hawaiian, to live the aloha spirit, and the history of the state. He explains the concept of aloha and connects it to the Live and Let Live Movement. He says that many of the aspirational values of the movement are the same as what it means to live life aloha. Peter shares some of the histories of Hawai‘i and concludes that people are ready for something new. Marc ponders on the most effective way to introduce the movement to the people of Hawai‘i. They end the episode by talking about why aspirational values are so important.
In episode 26 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with special guest, Aaron Powell. Aaron is the director and editor of Libertarianism.org, a project of the Cato Institute. He is also the co-host of Free Thoughts, a weekly podcast on libertarianism and the ideas that influence it. Powell’s research focuses on political philosophy and the moral case for liberty. Aaron starts off the conversation by explaining what he thinks the purpose of politics is and how his work with the Cato Institute aligns with the 3L Movement. He shares his opinion on Marc's book so far; which gets Marc, Andy, and Aaron discussing reasonable disagreements and implied contracts. Marc explains why we don't have to figure out every single issue immediately and what should happen when someone violates the 3L Principle. They end the conversation by discussing different interpretations of people in the freedom crowd.
In episode 25 of The Peace Radicals, Marc J. Victor converses with a special guest, Don Boudreaux. Don is an American economist, author, professor, and co-director of the Program on the American Economy and Globalization at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. Marc begins the episode by explaining the movement and the Live and Let Live Principle. He describes the goals of the movement; which include calibrating the laws to the 3L Principle to gain freedom and inspiring people to voluntarily adopt the aspirational values of the movement which would help us gain peace. Marc and Don discuss capitalism vs. crony capitalism and explain how free trade promotes peace. Then, they talk about socialism; they converse about how voluntary socialism wouldn't violate the 3LP. Don explains that if an idea is good, people will be compelled to voluntarily join. They ponder on how socialism has become so popular recently considering world history, and conclude that the k-12 system is a large part of the problem. They finish the conversation by elaborating on how the pandemic has caused so many people to think differently. Marc optimistically explains that we have to succeed in this peace movement if we want our species to succeed.
In episode 24 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with a special guest, Dr. Mary J. Ruwart. Mary is a research scientist, ethicist, and libertarian author/activist. They discuss Mary's involvement in the international freedom community and FDA/pharmaceutical practices and procedures. They elaborate on how the Live and Let Live Principle applies to these issues of government aggression. Marc, Andy, & Mary then converse about the Libertarian Party; they explain why they are not so popular and things that they could improve on. Mary suggests that we really only need 5-10% of people around the world to support the movement for a paradigm shift to take place.
In episode 23 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with a special guest, Professor Ken Schoolland. Ken is an economics professor, author of The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible: A Free Market Odyssey, and former president of Liberty International, and Chairperson of the Libertarian Party of Hawai‘i. Ken explains how using humor in his book has helped people to understand the absurdities of certain laws, the controls imposed on people’s lives, and the economic drawbacks of these laws. He also explains what the Jones Act is and how it financially hurts the people of Hawai‘i. They discuss why this is considered crony capitalism and how that differs from true capitalism. They theorize that the growing socialist movement in the US is caused by the lack of understanding of these two different types of capitalism.
In episode 22 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with special guest, Walter Block. Walter is an economics professor who has written many books about privatization and defending the undefendable. They discuss the covid pandemic and implications it caused in regards to handling situations where there is a substantial risk of someone violating the Live and Let Live Principle. They also talked about how we can determine if something should be considered a substantial risk. They considered other situations where different countries could violate the 3LP and how we should handle them.
In episode 21 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with special guest, Douglas "G-man" Anderton. G-man is a freedom advocate, an entrepreneur, and an all-around interesting guy. He starts off the conversation by sharing his background and telling stories. He shares his take on the Live and Let Live Movement, concluding that "people who violate the Live and Let Live Principle are unreasonable hypocrites". Andy attempts to defend these people who violate the 3LP by theorizing that they aren't aware of the issue that they are acting against their own self-interest. They discuss the shortcomings of the freedom movement as a whole and how the Live and Let Live Movement takes a different approach. They close the conversation by discussing the current state of the 3L Movement and future plans.
In episode 20 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with special guest, Bob Wenzel. Bob is editor & publisher of EconomicPolicyJournal.com and of Target Liberty, where he discusses issues relating to free markets, liberty, and Private Property Society theory. Bob, Marc, and Andy discuss one of Bob's books: Foundations of Private Property Society Theory: Anarchism for the Civilized Person. They elaborate on how they think this type of society could develop and outlier situations that could arise. Bob explains that he thinks this type of society is currently justified, although he rejects much of the current thinking on the topic. He says he does not expect to see a Private Property Society develop in his lifetime.
On episode 19 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel start off by discussing Hawai‘i; they talk about the process of being admitted there, the Attorneys for Freedom Law Firm in Honolulu, the Aloha Spirit, and the 3L Movement launch scheduled to take place there. Marc explains the process and purpose of writing his book, Live and Let Live: The Road to Peace, Prosperity, and Happiness. Andy plays devil's advocate in an attempt to find things that could go wrong if the 3LP was integrated into the law; such as jury nullification. They explain that jury nullification is when the jury decides that the right thing to do was to violate the law (or the 3LP). Andy explains what could go wrong if juries started implementing this, considering everyone has different morals. They conclude the show by talking about the future of the Peace Radicals Podcast.
In episode 18 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with a special guest, Olawunmi Olasoju. Ola is from Nigeria and has a background in Engineering and International Business. Ola loves to help people by promoting peace and freedom around the world. She is part of the "Team Africa" group, which is continuously growing and promoting the Live and Let Live Principle in Africa. She explains current issues that Africa is having with violating the 3LP; in particular: corruption, terrorism, police brutality, tribalism, and tensions throughout the continent. She says that the people that live there have great hearts and are living in peace to an extent. Marc, Andy, and Ola discuss situations where cultural rules transgress the 3LP and what should be done in those situations to achieve peace. Ola says that in order to live, we must also Let Live.
In episode 17 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel discuss things that they experience as criminal defense attorneys. They elaborate on problems with laws; explaining how they are unnecessary when it comes to victimless crimes. They say that we need to align criminal laws to the Live and Let Live Principle (3LP). By doing so, they estimate that 50% of crimes would be removed from the justice system. If this were to happen, more attention could be given to unsolved real crimes, such as murder and rape. Getting the laws calibrated to the 3LP is the biggest problem we have right now in our justice system. It will be a challenge to do this, but it is possible if we win over enough hearts and minds.
In episode 16 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with a special guest, Doctor Jeff Singer. Jeff works in the Department of Health Policy Studies and is the principal and founder of Valley Surgical Clinics Ltd., the largest and oldest group private surgical practice in Arizona, and has been in private practice as a general surgeon for more than 35 years. He is also a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and a visiting fellow at the Goldwater Institute in Phoenix.
Jeff explains how the healthcare system in the US was affected by the COVID pandemic. He elaborates on how the government responded to the pandemic and how the vaccine was rolled out so fast. He says that there is too much bureaucracy/red tape in the health care system and how some of this was stripped away as a result of the pandemic.
In episode 15 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with special guest, Dave Dorn. Dave is the president of his insurance agency and has been working in the field for over 50 years. He is also a long-time peace advocate and one of the founding members of the Live and Let Live Movement. Dave explains how he got into insurance and what it was like growing up in the 1960s. Dave, Marc, and Andy talk about what it really means to be for peace. They discuss different types of insurance, such as health, disability, worker's comp. and why we can get rid of insurance completely. Dave explains how there is so much fraud in the social security system and how it is unnecessary. They talk more about the 3L movement and how the 3LP applies to insurance.
In episode 14 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with special guest, Li Schoolland. Li is a freedom activist who grew up in Communist China. She tells her story about how she survived through 26 years of Mao’s regime and how she was able to escape. She goes into detail about things that she experienced such as: being discriminated against for being educated and being born into an anti-communist family, her parents being prisoners, and her family being exiled. She explains that there was no equality of opportunity for people and how they were all constantly living in fear. Marc, Andy, and Li notice many similarities between things that happened in Communist China and things that are happening in the US today. Li says this scares her because she "knows the price of freedom" and she doesn't want to have to pay that price again.
In episode 13 of The Peace Radicals, Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel discuss Libertarianism and how the Live and Let Live Movement differs and aligns with it. They explain that the two movements are in agreement in the legal world (with the purpose of law being to stop one person from aggressing against another). However, the 3L Movement has the loftier goal of peace, rather than just freedom. The 3L Movement also has aspirational values and is a world movement, unlike the Libertarian Movement. They talk more about morality and how it shouldn't be implemented into the law. Marc and Andy also ponder on how we should implement the 3LP into the law. They conclude by stating that we need to change the hearts and minds of enough reasonable people around the world if we want to make some real changes.
In episode 12 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with a special guest, Professor Mark Skousen. Skousen is an economics professor and founder of FreedomFest; which is currently the largest freedom festival in the world. They start off the conversation by talking more about Skousen's background and FreedomFest. Then, they discuss COVID-19 mandates and how they relate to the Live and Let Live Principle. They describe how rules/regulations enforced by businesses should work and how people should be persuaded into doing the right thing instead of being forced into it.
In episode 11 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with special guest, Sheriff David Hathaway. Hathaway is the Sheriff of Santa Cruz County in Arizona. He is the first elected official that subscribes to the Live and Let Live Principle. Sheriff Hathaway explains what Live and Let Live means to him and how he applies it to his job. They talk about how the 3LP applies to mask and vaccine mandates and constitutional issues caused by covid-19. Sheriff Hathaway describes what he can and cannot do as sheriff and the process that he went through to become elected.
In episode 10 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel converse with special guest, Walter Block. Walter is a professor who has written many books about privatization and defending the undefendable. They discuss the Live and Let Live principle applied to abortion and the pro-life/pro-choice debate. They talk about different concepts related to abortion, such as: when life starts, "evicting", and killing. They also discuss scenarios surrounding pregnancies in the cases of rape and surrogacy. Marc and Andy consider the legal side of things such as legal obligations and fraud.
In episode 9 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel answer questions from the audience. They answer a question about dishonest police officers claiming to smell marijuana for warrantless searches. They discuss victimless crimes and why the 4th amendment evaporates when it comes to police dogs. They answer another question about disorderly conduct and why it is such a broad crime. The last question they answer is about how the 3LP relates to animal rights.
In episode 8 of The Peace Radicals, Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel discuss the Live and Let Live principle and elaborate on morality being incorporated into the law. Marc explains that only the least common denominator of morality should be put into the law. The law can't be completely divorced from morality because of things such as murder, rape, etc. These are things that are generally accepted (as morally wrong) among reasonable people. We need to impose the 3LP into the legal system so people can live their lives peacefully. They also further discuss property ownership, taxation, and voluntary kindness. We need to inspire people to act properly because the world will never be free of people who seek to aggress against others. We have to be eternally vigilant. Be a part of the solution.
In episode 7 of The Peace Radicals, Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel reiterate the current political state in the US, why we should follow the 3L Principle, and the fact that we need to change many hearts and minds around the world. They explain that (like vehicles) guns are a tool that can be used for good or for bad; which is why Marc doesn't like the term "assault" rifle. They conclude the episode by discussing what enforcement of the 3LP would look like. We need to get governments around the world on our side and we need to lead by example. Let's help increase standards of living around the world by promoting freedom and peace.
In episode 6 of The Peace Radicals, Andy Marcantel plays devil's advocate with Marc J. Victor in order to answer the many questions that people may have about the movement. Marc explains why leading from a principle is important; which is something that neither political party does. He discusses the differences between Live and Let Live and Libertarianism. He says that Libertarianism is a freedom movement while 3L is a peace movement; the goals of the 3L movement are much loftier. Marc explains that peace requires aspirational values, such as open-mindedness, tolerance, voluntary kindness, rational thought, commitment to facts, and seeking to increase human happiness while reducing suffering. He says that we don't want to change laws to achieve these values because there is a problem with mandating morality. It is our moral (not legal) duty to help one another out.
In episode 5 of The Peace Radicals Marc J. Victor and Andy Marcantel discuss the current political state in the US and the failures of the government in 2020. They believe that it's a great year to launch a peace movement because a lot of people are ready for change. They elaborate on how the world is becoming more of a global community because of the fact that technology is advancing so quickly. Because of this, the 3L Principle needs to be implemented worldwide. In order to do this, we must change the hearts and minds of enough people. We need to urgently organize the laws and our lives in pursuit of liberty and happiness.
In episode 4 of The Peace Radicals, Marc J. Victor talks about how 2020 wasn't such a bad year. He says that even though many bad things happened, a lot of great things happened in response.

He describes how taxation is theft and that there are other ways to fund things rather than by force. Taxation is aggression and we can never aggress our way towards a peaceful world. We need to outlaw all aggression and ferment peace around the world.

To do this, we have to implement the Live and Let Live Principle into the Law. He also explains why we have to change how the constitution is interpreted.
