a philosophy held by people who fundamentally fail to grasp that human beings are social animals.

libertarianism is not to be confused with objectivism, a philosophy espoused mostly by privileged 18-year olds who believe that a toddler’s “mine!” phase is the best time of his life and should therefore be encouraged in adults as well.
you might be a libertarian if:

1. you believe that over 200 years of economic regulations were put in place just for the heck of it.

2. you believe that roads and bridges build themselves, or that water is safe to drink by default.

3. you believe, for reasons known only to g-d, that living in a country virtually devoid of governance, such as somalia, is preferable to living in a country with strong government oversight, such as sweden.

4. you believe that the wealthy and successful built their success from literally nothing, with no help from taxpayer-funded infrastructure, police, firemen, schools, military protection, investment in science, etc., and so by this logic taxes are a form of “stealing”.

5. you would prefer that citizens be controlled and dominated by large corporations over which they have no control than a single government over which they have at least some control.

6. you believe that profit motives can in no way conflict with the public good. for example, you believe that privately run prisons with a profit motive will naturally focus on rehabilitation and minimizing recidivism, because they totally want to reduce the prison population for some reason.

7. you believe that people living in a country in which they have to work two or more dead-end jobs just to make ends meet are free just because those same people would hypothetically pay less taxes if they magically got rich.
a former republican who grew larger b-lls and decided to say f-ck the establishment.
i became libertarian once i fully understood the const-tution.
one who believes the only purpose of government is to protect the rights of its citizens, those rights being life, liberty and property
liberatarians could save the united states from socialism if only its citizens were not so stupid
a libertarian is someone who believes that you should have the freedom to do whatever you choose, other than to hurt or take away that freedom from someone else.

the only reason for the government is to make sure that people don’t take away freedom of another person. any extra rules enforced are not needed, and are an invasion of personal liberty.
clint eastwood is a libertarian.
republicans that smoke weed.
zeke was against social welfare programs, but he liked his weed so he became a libertarian.
1. someone who thinks somalia is a nice place to live.
2. one who thinks ayn rand is a good writer and isn’t crazy.
3. delves into the archives of history to base an ideology off of industrial age europe in much the same way conservatives do medieval england.
4. one who thinks the free market should decide whether or not it’s okay to force your children to work in african mines doing backbreaking labor, inhaling toxic fumes and whatnot for eight cents an hour.

^ each and every one a proud libertarian
a libertarian is someone who wants to take america back to the way it was run in the 1800s, regardless of how much the world has changed since then. libertarians also have mean hard-ons for unregulated capitalism, believing that the “invisible hand” will erase poverty and create a utopia instead of what actually happens when you let companies do whatever they want, which is:

-children working in factories and mines
-corporate monopolies
-workplaces where death is likely
-low, low wages
-sh-t in your food (read upton sinclair’s “the jungle”)
-even more extreme corporate corruption and political p-wns than we have now.
-getting the living f-ck stomped out of you by company-hired goons for trying to organize a union (battle of the overp-ss)
“g-d i’ve got such a mean hard-on for capitalism!” -fapfapfapfapfap-

-typical libertarian
one who follows a utopian political ideology which claims to support individual freedoms in all areas socially and economically. ironically, while they advocate “small” government, (i.e. reduction of government in all areas except those which protect the domination of the capitalist cl-ss) if the libertarian ideology were to actually be put into effect, it would more than likely lead to an extremely oppressive society, dominated even more than now, by a wealthy few. because of this, libertarianism can be described as a form of corporatism in disguise. libertarianism is popular among rebellious high schoolers who in actuality know little of politics or the real world.
“the mistake of the libertarian ideology is that it fails to recognize that big business is just as oppressive as big government.”
