2008 comments[edit]

I was going to include this comment but I think it's kinda off-base: According to Andrew Rogers:^[1]

“

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.

Schwartz article[edit]

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)[reply]

Has the wording of the pledge changed?[edit]

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."[1]

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."
