https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aggression_principle

The NAP is an ethical stance that aggression is inherently wrong. "Aggression" is defined as initiating or threatening any forcible interference with an individual or individual's property.

So, libertarians and anarcho-capitalists will say that the NAP applies to humans.

Does it apply to animals?

If not, name the trait.

If so, go vegan.

If a human can't/doesn't form a social contract with the rest of society, does the NAP not apply?

Say a retard can't enter the social contract, does the NAP not apply?

It doesn't matter if a retard, or anyone, can't form or willfully enter a social contract because most are born into one and so all a person has to do is not reject the contract already in place. Additionally, it's been my experience that retards understand the basic concept of "don't hurt others" and that doing so brings consequences...including a trip to the psych ward.

And to go back to my dog example...most domesticated dogs are born into the same contract as us. They can either accept the contract or reject it and face the consequences...just like the rest of us.

If I'm not born into your social contract, is it okay to murder me?

Yeah sometimes.

When my country (USA) went to war with Vietnam & Korea, it was to stop them from adopting new social contracts for themselves that were seen as a direct threat to the future of our own social contract. Killing them suddenly became justified and our solders did just that.

Africans were rounded up like cattle and shipped to the Americas with many getting dumped in the Atlantic along the way. But their enslavement was justified since they didn't belong to the same social contract. Even when freed, lynching and legal forms of discrimination were justified because blacks didn't belong to the social contract whites operated under.

Even today, Israel & Palestine share the same geographical space but follow two different social contracts and the end result is decades of them murdering each other.
