A libertarian is a person who thinks he is not the property of the state, like he is not a cow in a farm owned by a farmer. He thinks that the government should represent his interests and not repress him with rules against his wellness and steal money from his work like a PIMP.

He believes that a contract is only valid when people who sign it agree with the terms, which is not the case of most decisions of the government pushed on people against their will. He realises that all the land is owned by different states/gangs who bully people in different ways, and so there is no free land on the planet where you can stay by yourself and mind your own business without having to pay something to someone, and he thinks that's SLAVERY.

He's disgusted by the idea of being stuck in an office from 9 to 5 and the need to ask permission to go to the doctor or take care of a kid, he thinks it's like JAIL.

What he wants it's to be FREE, from any kind of self proclaimed authority because he is an adult, a free person who is responsible for his actions and choices and can make his own decisions.

This makes people who are not libertarian voluntary slaves, prisoners and kids, wanting to be assisted by an authority. They are willing to be taxed on their labour by people who are not taxed on their capital, who make them suffer in poverty living of what they produce, like farm ANIMALS.

And of course the system makes you think that being libertarian can only create chaos... WAKE UP PEOPLE!
He's a libertarian, he won't do anything against his will because he's a free person, not a slave, not a prisoner, not a kid.

An oxymoron. Just like so called "Centrists", Internationalists or "Humanists". And other political pseudo-intellectuals.

Libertarians actually closeted Communists; but try to make it look like they are in-between, they believe in almost the same social dogma as Marxism; only difference is Communism equals strong government. Libertarians may believe in tolerance of homosexuals, feminism and Muslims. All this is funny; because lots of them claim to be Agnostics - and do not realize Islam is totalitarian institution; plus ... Muslims, just like Christians hate/despise homosexuals in the first place.

(Also American Constitution was NOT Libertarian. It was an advocation of Tribalism & an Agrarian state. (anti-Western world.)

Libertarianism is form of subtle Marxism in disguise as small government. Someone here said they were a former Republican who became Libertarian after they fully understood the Constitution ... As a professional I really had to laugh because the only thing that Libertarianism ideology & American Constitution advocated was small to almost no government ... They (founding fathers) never said anything i.e. about homosexuality, feminism, or practicing Islam & etc. (You could say "well, back in the 1700s these times were different." By this logic; that would be assuming the founding fathers also advocated pedophilia or murder ... And I don't think they did.)

(Libertarians are Marxists because they believe in the state. That's why it's an oxymoron.)
Libertarians do not realize it is human nature to have flaws or want to be above others. (It's just our minds.) If there was ever utopia things like jealousy, guilt, fear, embarrassment, pain, pleasure, anger, sadness, happiness & other natural emotions would no longer exist. (because everyone would be too comfortable & satisfied. Which is exact opposite of pure human nature/natural selection.)

(Some people- especially Ayn Rand, see Nietzsche as an influence to their philosophy. (especially Capitalism) Funny; because Nietzsche was NOT in anyway Libertarian. He was also NOT Nazi or Communist; as he believed in total abolition of the state. (He was very much against Democracy/Western civilization; and was for a Natural state/Agrarian, much like founding fathers of the USA.)

(Side note- Nietzsche would abhor Capitalism & see it as a form of life-denial & completely against his philosophy of self-mastery.)

(Nietzsche wasn't Nihilist. He was an Agnostic, or perspectivist. He could not use the word Agnostic because it wasn't defined yet in late 1800s & another philosopher came up with the term. ("Agnosticism") Nietzsche just called his"perspectivism". )

Libertarianism cant work; and will only lead to weakened structure (everyone is "equal" which will turn into disorder/chaos because of greedy humans) It is a laughable philosophy and will only backfire like communism)

It should also be noted that the founding fathers did not want Political parties whatsoever.

CONTRARY TO POPULAR STEREOTYPE, we are NOT a bunch of pot smoking anti government conservatives.

Libertarians believe that state regulation should be minimal. We believe in reforming or abolishing welfare, lowering taxes, disbanding unions, legalizing marijuana, legalizing same sex marriage, etc.

Libertarians are economically (fiscally) conservative, believing in minimal government regulation and a free market economy. However, we are socially liberal, being tolerant of social groups of all types.

Libertarians also believe that citizens should not be punished for harmless crimes, such as not wearing a seatbelt, possessing drugs, driving without license plates, and tax fraud.
Libertarians are a right wing group that believes in very high levels of freedom and low government dependence and regulation. So stop stereotyping us and making us all look like anarchist potheads.

1. A person supporting (on a personal level) greater personal freedom than government control, in non- economical ways.
2. A person who may be either liberal or conservative, but cannot be statist (in support of fascism or dictatorship.)
3. A person who enjoys, and is willing to fight for, their personal freedoms.
4. One who thinks that George Bushes ideals are negative.
"George Washington was libertarian."
"George Bush may be fiscally conservative, but socially he's no libertarian."
"If all Americans were libertarian, crime would fall, there would be peace, and people would no longer need to fear a government which- like the one from 2000- 20??- is oppressive of people's rights.

Someone who is completely dependent on others while being fully convinced of their own independence. They were born on third base and think that means that they hit a triple. Most of them have read Ayn Rand fiction novels and think they are supposed to be living in one. Her fans were called "the society of selfishness".
Most Libertarians I know have trouble defining what they believe in.
