- Neither individual values, nor group tendencies thereof, have to be justified.
- The inherent subjectivity of values necessitates property as a norm to peacefully resolve the universal problem of scarcity.
- Liberty is the value of peace. Reaction is the value of order. Peace and order are unified by the property norm.
- Additional values such as sanctity, loyalty, and tradition are indispensable to the maintenance of peace and order.
- Actualizing our values requires power. We use all power at our disposal, however less than optimal the present system may be, to more closely approximate our estimation of what an optimal system would produce.
- Loyalty to our in-group is in our individual interest. At the same time, there is no metaphysical group right that justifies violating the property rights of any of that group’s individual members. Individualist mania however, is no more a justification for violation than a collectivist one.
- Character is paramount because successful organizations are built on trust. Perfect ideological alignment means nothing if a would-be member of our organization is untrustworthy.
- Ideology however, is a significant part of the character of a political activist. Proponents of tyrannical ideologies, no matter how much they purport to promote any of our values, cannot be tolerated.
- For the preceding two reasons membership is open to those of good character who see property violation by the state as a necessary evil at best, and therefore believe that the permissible scope of such action must be heavily circumscribed.
- As the preceding principles indicate, meaningful progress in the present toward a much freer, peaceful, and orderly society is more important to us than purity concerning what the best possible system producing such a society actually is. We focus on making small but continual steps toward that goal, secure in the knowledge that over time they will accrue to great improvement of our society.
