norwegianvillain Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Any fellow libertarians here on the forum? I could'nt find any threads on the topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I believe myself to be fairly liberal in persuasion. But I'm not sure who classes what as what any more as people seem to class liberal as 'left', which I don't think it is. Left is socialist and therefore controlled. Liberal should be by definition centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 What kind of libertarian are we talking here?Indeed, pour example:Libertarian MarxismLibertarian Marxism refers to a broad scope of economic and political philosophies that emphasize the anti-authoritarian aspects of Marxism. Early currents of libertarian Marxism, known as left communism emerged in opposition to Marxism–Leninism and its derivatives, such as Stalinism, Maoism, and Trotskyism...and lots more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted March 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) I am somewhat libertarian and on the left, at least according to this well-known survey. I basically think pot should be legal, the state should stay out of the bedroom, but the state should look after those who can't themselves. On the other hand, I think if you can work, you should.

Rodders Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 such a broad label, opposed to economic libertarianism, more sympathetic to social libertarianism I guess. I think Ron Paul is insane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall I ship you my six-volume compendium, My Stray Political Thoughts From Football Forums? If you can't work, then you should get the dole, and it should be generous, and since you asked, I think you should pay for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Yes, I'm a libertarian. If the old or disabled or children or the 'unlucky' can't stand on their own two feet, **** 'em. As long as there's an ambulance when I need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the old or disabled or children or the 'unlucky' can't stand on their own two feet, **** 'em.That's isn't libertarian.That's, at best, the caricature of a right wing libertarian (I'm not sure that it appropriately represents them, tbh).

Popular Post mjmooney Posted March 13, 2015 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2015 On all those political quadrant thingies, I always come out as Left Libertarian. i.e. in favour of state control in matters of the economy, utilities, etc., but minimal state interference in matters of lifestyle, sexuality, etc. Rightwing libertarians would be the diametric opposite. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each of societies problems will have a unique solution which shouldn't be based on some sort of political point scoring exercise 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
