A Knight of Non-Aggression is a person* committed to fighting institutionalized aggression, who has taken the following oath:
"I swear, by my Life** and my love of It, to fight against all forms of tyranny. I recognize that the enabling idea that underlies and sustains tyranny is the idea that the socially organized and institutionalized initiation of the use of force against non-consenting and unwilling people can be justified, is desirable, and must be given sanction in order to avoid chaos***. I further recognize that no lasting liberty can be achieved until the falsehood of this idea is widely known and Pledge my Life, my Fortune, and my Sacred Honor to exposing this falsehood. To this battle I will turn my creative energy, I will give my time, and I will devote my very being, while never allowing my self, my efforts, or my cause to become the aggressor, never conceding the premise of the enemy by becoming the enemy."
*Person can mean male, female, neuter, machine, or whatever form intelligent life happens to be manifest in.
**"Life" could be: God, or some other supreme value to the individual taking the oath.
*** "Avoid chaos" could be: achieve the"public good", defeat the enemy, maintain national security, or some other version of "achieve good things/avoid bad things".
