In this classic 1963 essay, Murray Rothbard argues that the state is inherently hostile to peace because war enhances its power, prestige, and control. While individuals benefit from peace and voluntary exchange, governments thrive on conflict, using war as a tool to centralize authority and suppress liberty. Rothbard challenges the moral legitimacy of state warfare and calls for a truly libertarian stance—non-intervention and individualism.
