According to some anarcho-capitalists, this does not necessarily preclude violent action to overthrow the government, because government initiated force by imposing taxes; therefore, revolutionary acts are simply self-defense. Anarcho-capitalists further argue that initiatives such as the [[Fairtax]] are a violation of the pledge, because force would need to be initiated in order to collect the Fairtax (as with any other tax).
'''Pledge''' may refer to:
 
* a commitment to make a periodic contribution, or to the [[Liberty Pledge]] newsletter sent to such contributors
* the [[Libertarian Membership Pledge|pledge (statement) required to qualify as an LP member]]
* [[PLEDGE (organization)|PLEDGE]] - a group formed in 1993 to campaign for retention of the membership pledge and platform
