Great!

I think the Non Agression Principle is something that a lot of people across
the political spectrum could agree with.

I imagine most people on the left who have heard of the NAP are likely to have
problems with it. For instance, some formulations of it explicitly include
mention of a person's property, and there are those on the left who wouldn't
agree with that.

But I think there's definitely a kernel within the NAP that... maybe even
almost everybody could agree with.

I could certainly get behind a statement like "no punishments for those who do
not offend".

Where disagreement could certainly come into play is where there's disagreement
what constitutes an offense. To some, aborting a pregnancy qualifies as an
offense. To others, restricting abortion rights does.

Another place is whether punishment (or agression) should be allowed against
those who do offend (or aggress).

But, I'm more interested at this point in what we can agree on than what we
can't. Thank you for responding!
