A recent State affiliate of the Libertarian Party has jokingly suggested bodily harm to a politician in their State. The Libertarian Party of Delaware does not condone these statements. Murray Rothbard, a founder of the National Libertarian party, endorsed the non-aggression principle that is an ethical stance that bans the initiation of physical force, threats of violence, or coercion against any person or their legitimately owned property. Statements inciting violence against politicians are in line with the gulag and third world despots.
