libertarianism

A political philosophy based on the Non-Aggression Principle, which holds that people should be allowed to live as they choose and make their own choices without interference from government or others, so long as those choices do not involve the initiation of force or fraud against others.

Libertarianism is the opposite of authoritarianism or statism, which is the idea that governments should largely control people, allocate their resources, and make decisions for them, allegedly for their own good or the good of society (in practice usually for the good of those running the government).

Social Libertarianism

Social libertarianism is the belief in social liberty, i.e., individual independence and communal autonomy from overarching government or state control.

Social libertarianism reject the concentration of decision-making authority into distant, oligarchical, centralized bureaucracies - federal or monolithic - favoring instead the diffusion and localization of that decision-making authority.

Social libertarianism supports 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.

Social libertarianism regards free-market capitalism and democratic, communalistic socialism as equally conducive economic 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 ascribe to social libertarianism.

Libertarian Waterworld

References the Seasteading Institute's idea in which people live in floating cities on international waters, allowing "the next generation of pioneers to peacefully test new ideas for government."

What are the markings on her back?

Some say it's the way to dry land.

Dry land is a myth.

Liberazi

A person who believes you should not have freedom of speech unless you completely agree with their "progressive," "PC," etc... opinion/agenda. Usually unable to distinguish between fact and opinion. Abhors any situation where they feel discriminated against yet have no problem discriminating against others; uses euphemisms to deny doing so.

I tried to have a discussion about the election but the Liberazi told me that my voice should not be heard because I was not a member of their marginalized group

libertarian communist

A communist that actually is not a dick (like the winning majority in history have been), thinks you can only have communism if it is based purely on rational human self-interest and desire, and would rather not have a revolution at all than have one that leads to something worse than you started with. A person who wants communism without MarxISM or any other "persons-name-ism".

"My best friend is a libertarian communist -- he reads Noam Chomsky but doesn't call himself a 'Chomskyan'."
