A libertarian is someone who only cares about themselves and has no idea how politics work. A libertarian believes tehy should be free to do whatever they want, within limits they consider reasonable, and other people should be free to leave libertarians alone. They believe that passing a law will make things happen with no regards to things like cause and effect. Their political ideals align more closely with Lincoln era Republicans or with FDR era Democrats, but they will vote for whoever makes promises that libertarians want to hear.
My friend ended a political discussion by declaring he is a libertarian, meaning he believes he is right and will not listen to other views.

Social liberty is the synthesis of individual independence and communal autonomy from overarching government or state control.
Social liberty is the rejection of the concentration of decision-making authority into distant, oligarchical, centralized bureaucracies - federal or monolithic - and the embrace of diffusion and localization of that decision-making authority.
Social liberty exists in a political, social, and economic environment which allows voluntary accession to associations, but also permits a person to choose to remain free of restraint by society, except in cases in which an individual's claim of freedom interferes with another individual's right to be free from unwarranted, aggressive coercion or harm.
An economic system of social liberty regards free-market capitalism and democratic, communalistic socialism as equally conducive means towards the ends of generalistic liberation from tyranny.

Murray Bookchin's support of decentralized, non-hierarchical communal autonomy, coupled with a belief in individual liberty, indicates that he and his adherents believe in social liberty.

Get the Social Liberty mug.Someone so obtuse they have been kicked off any message board with a moderator. Often takes the form "ButtFlavoredPopDork", "walkerman", "IfishIam" and "ArcoWimper" to escape detection on new boards.
Example: Liberty Pilgrim is off his meds and ruining another good message board. Give it five minutes and ButtFlavoredPopDork will show up and compliment Liberty Pilgrim on a great post.

Get the T.S.O.L(True Sounds Of Liberty) mug.The political philosophy that...
1. ...says no one has the right to initate force against another. Period. Even if it's for their own good.
2. ...says government in a free society exists only to (A)protect its citizens from having force initated on them, and to (B)punish those who have initiated force on others.
3. ...IS NOT ANARCHISM, a belief that everything government provides, society can provide more effectively.
4. ...was derived from classical liberalism, the very philosophy that the United States was founded apon and roughly operated under up until the end of the 1800s.
5. ...is the most logical, humane, and ethical political system ever thought of.
For insight on the *practical* benefits of such a system, interested bodies should read "Healing Our World" by Dr. Mary J. Ruwart, just to get started. (Freely available on the Net.)
