Our Principles

I

Property Rights

Scarce resources cannot be used for contradictory ends. To act, the individual must control the direction of those resources. Property rights designate that control and resolve conflict without contradiction. Without property, no action is possible, and without action, life cannot be sustained.

II

Reason & Objective Knowledge

Existence exists. A is A. Consciousness is the awareness of that which exists. Reason is the individual's only means of survival: their sole tool for perceiving reality, gaining objective knowledge, and guiding action to sustain their life.

III

Non-Aggression Principle

Aggression is the use of a scarce resource against its rightful controller's will. Initiating force contradicts property, action, and life itself. For the individual to sustain their life while interacting with others, they must follow the Non-Aggression Principle.

IV

Free Markets

Capitalism is the only means to provide prosperity, innovation, abundance, and an efficient allocation of scarce resources.
