RE: This is why politics and principles just don't mix
there can be conflicts between the two.... I think politics built on the right principles is the best combination to have =)

Government is a group of people who claim a territorial monopoly in violence by definition. This cannot be brought into alignment with the principles of non-aggression and respect for reciprocal rights.
interesting viewpoint, governments always have problems balancing policy decisions...
That Non Aggression Principle (NAP) is a pretty good one, and yet it is incompatible with politics.
if only governments were less aggressive/confrontational in politics....
I think you've missed the point. Politics requires coercion and the initiation of aggression. That is why governments will always be incompatible with freedom.
Interesting view, you definitely have more knowledge and understanding of politics than I do. Thank you
The Government of NAP is crowdfunded local defense/emergency protection forces and third-party arbitration based on pre-established treaty/contract (i.e. their common law)
really interesting view, creating good government policies are important
