Libertarians and non-Libertarians alike are all welcome. Post issues, ask questions & receive answers, and discuss Libertarian issues in politics.
>What is Libertarianism?
Libertarianism (Latin: liber, "free") is a political philosophy that upholds liberty as its principal objective. Libertarians seek to maximize autonomy and freedom of choice, emphasizing political freedom, voluntary association and the primacy of individual judgment.
>How do I know if I'm a Libertarian?
Take the quiz: http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz/quiz.php
>Aren't you guys just anarchists?
While Libertarians think that a minimal centralized government is necessary, anarchists propose to completely eliminate the state, and that is not our goal.
>Is this party only in the United States?
Absolutely not. Several countries now have officially declared Libertarian parties, and the ideals of true liberty aren't confined to just one country. You can be a Libertarian no matter where you are.

The libertarian party is a joke and so are the "libertarians" in it. Liberty is not within borders or organizations, liberty is within the man who lives indomitable. Your kike party means nothing to libertarians.

Hello there reddit.
I've been thinking about it a lot lately, I love the idea of Libertarianism but I think that in order to control the corrupting power of banks and corporations, we will need a centralized model.
The more I think about it the more social liberalism is the right choice. Maybe a step below Sanders with all the ideas of civil liberties and defensive foreign policy being maintained.
>>68428746
Sanders isn't a libertarians, he is a socialist you kike faggot retard. Libertarian ideology is establishment of the forced union, hernie would try his hardest to increase the control of the same union.
Sanders has nothing in common with libertarians at all, he is a kike and so is OP with his fake libertarian party.

Look at all these Not An Arguments.
>>68426846
Fucking hell 4-5 years ago /pol/ and before that /new/ WAS the libertarian board sharing the place with far right.
Now its a place for regular social conservatives, and libertarianism is being mocked.
Was libertarianism a fad? That happened due to people wanted to distance themselves from dubya years plus 08 crisis? Are thing reverting back to normal (i.e. social conservative majority)?
How fast the times change. I never thought Ron Paul would get mocked here, and I remember when the word Statist was used as a serious insult.
>>68429665
I blame shills and teenagers for the change to neo-reactionary and fascism.
>>68428995

First day on the job there buddy?

You need an organized political party to achieve anything in this day and age. If you left your mom's basement you'd know such basic information, but instead you continue to shitpost and act like an uneducated mong.
Your mother should have aborted you.
>>68426846
Fuck off. Rand quit. Ron is a crazy. There are no libertarian candidates.
>>68428192
Fuck you308
>>68430874
>he is just ignoring the actual libertarian party
Notice me, senpai.
>>68430827
Rand and Ron are perfect examples of "libertarians" bought by the same kikes who you claim to be against.
kill yoursel, naive cunt. A libertarian would never lower to the level of cucks.
>>68427879
>tries to make point about libertarians worshiping the free market
>Worships the state
God, Statists are so retarded.
>>68430827
The parties in Washington sure are accomplishing a lot.
>>68433033
They're accomplishing more than you ever will by whining about muh parteeeez on a Siberian soap opera kaleidescope.
I don't like the idea of parties, and neither did the founding fathers as they wrote the constitution, but it is a necessary evil at this point to gain any traction in the political arena.
>>68429925
That's dumb to credit a national movement to the youth and paid when those that are and/or are the youth and paid or kike dicksocks.
Libertarianism sucks because too many people equate law with morality, and are otherwise degenerating under the weight of the media and cultural subversion. It's time for people to rally under a nationalist flag or we will be scattered to the wind.
You sir, have been demoted, to Major Lee Retarded.
>>68433468
Just keep voting for the system that is slowly ruining everything.
Euro liberal (libretarian in usa) here.
I do not get it, how can someone claim to be lib and promote regulation of movment of labour - which is restricting market freedom. Sight - liberty in usa is dead, most prominent liberals promote trump, who is clearly against free market (immigration, ttip etcc.)
>>68435435
A constitution for all is a constitution for none, and open borders is abandonment of culture and citizen. Your views are wrong.
>>68435435
That's the fine line between anarchy and liberalism. A libertarian(classical liberal) believes in national borders.
If we remove borders and allow free movement then there's no reason i shouldn't shoot any pablo i see. Nothing would incite a race war faster than the removal of borders.
>>68429262
look at how insecure the shittertarian is to run damage control. nice try shit lover.
>>68432596
strong projection from the gas huffing retard detected.
>muh free market
LMAO at your life you faggot cuck. only when you grow up and realize that your brain is too underdeveloped and you are too much of an immature bitch to make an informed decision will you realize how stupid your fairy tale "philosophy" is, dumb shit.
>>68436437
>>68436364
And you dare to claim that you are Libertarian-Liberal?
You are the reason why crises happen - economic crises happen because state interfers with free market and you are the reason why we are on the road to serfdom (serfdom thrue communism).
Stop being statist - free market, free people!
>>68439781
LOOK MY I BUMPED THE THREAD AGAIN!
What do you say to the following argument (put against me recently:
If you wish the government to ensure the greatest amount of liberty exists in society, why dont you support higher taxation on the rich so more liberties can be provided to the poor (and barely lowering the liberties enjoyed by the rich in the process). Socialism is the way to maximize liberty in a society.

jesus christ you sound like a naive little faggot
go get your mom to change your shitted up pampers kid
>>68440833
Mainly because income taxes are theft.
>Socialism is the way to maximize liberty in a society.
That's an oxymoron. You can't have liberty when people are literally being robbed of their income at gunpoint and threatened with imprisonment if they don't abide.
From an economic standpoint, the business owners, CEOs, executives, etc. who make a lot of money are the ones who essentially run the economy. Charging them more to operate and hindering their success is bad for the economy.
