The libertarian approach is a very symmetrical one: the non-aggression principle does not rule out force, but only the initiation of force.

There is a symmetry here: force for force, but no force if no force was used.
A revolution is bloody. Revolution is hostile. Revolution knows no compromise. Revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way.
