You believe in maximizing individual freedom and minimizing government intervention to create a society where people can thrive through self-reliance and voluntary cooperation.
Libertarianism is a political philosophy that upholds liberty as a core principle. Libertarians seek to maximize political freedom and autonomy, emphasizing freedom of choice, voluntary association, and individual judgment. They believe in the principle of self-ownership and reject any form of coercion or force that infringes upon individual rights. This ideology is often associated with a laissez-faire economic perspective, advocating for minimal state intervention in the economy and the free market.
The roots of libertarianism can be traced back to the Age of Enlightenment in the…

What would be your strategy for maintaining public order in a neighborhood without a police presence?
@9KY6LGG1mo1MO
Own an AR-15 and hire a private defence agency.
@9KN9SF92mos2MO
I feel that a regulated militia of citizens to fight crime in a non-police area would work. I feel that police must be a thing to maintain order.
@9KN9V452mos2MO
Making sure that everyone is accounted for, no criminals, rules prehaps, etc.
@9KN9W82 2mos2MO
Establishing social programs to curb poverty driven violence and a council within the city to deal with people who simply commit crimes for the sake of violence
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Could a society function effectively if all its members were completely free to do as they pleased?
@9H83PC25mos5MO
No, a society couldn't function properly if everyone were free. There has to be a line of rules and laws that should be followed in order to keep the world in balance and organized. Without any rules or regulations, the world would be in chaos and people could do whatever they want without consequences.
@9H7X5KQ5mos5MO
No thats called chaos we have to have order to keep a better nation
There needs to be rules across society, however in a society without a government they could still be put in place through other means.
@92VHLQ8Constitution5mos5MO
so long as the member is not engaged in activity which directly inflicts harm to other people, the member should be left alone by the government.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
If there were no government safety nets, what alternative methods could we as a community create to support those in need?
@9HDB2ZB5mos5MO
Creating community based institutions that support the needs of the community. Perhaps hiring community workers who actually talk to the community and find methods to fulfill those needs.
@9HD9ZPP 5mos5MO
As a community we could just always show more respect to peoples freedom and opinions no matter how much they differ from our own.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How would you handle a situation where your freedom of choice conflicts with the well-being of the community?
If Libertarians means to seek to maximize political freedom and autonomy, emphasizing freedom of choice, voluntary association, and individual judgment, then I think that I should be able to make a choice that doesn't jeopardize the safety of the community.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
If you're talking about abortion, that actually violates the libertarian principle of non-aggression...
@9HDJMTY5mos5MO
I would have to know the situation beforehand, as I can put my freedom of choice on hold.
I would choose the choice that does not start conflict with the well-being of the community.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Can true freedom exist without some form of government structure to uphold it?
@9KY6LGG1mo1MO
Yes. An absence of government structure does not mean an absence of law. We could return to privatised law, and effectively punish criminals to potentially an even greater extent than we do with government.
@9H9DG2G5mos5MO
I don't think freedom would be able to exist because of people not following them.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
In your own life, how do you determine when it's appropriate to follow your own path versus considering the impact of your actions on others?
@9HDCS475mos5MO
i believe libtards should not have any say in anything ever
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Is there a balance between personal choice and the common good, and if so, what does it look like to you?
@9HH2QJ85mos5MO
Balanced if I’m inline with mine and not forgetting common good
@9HH3FPY5mos5MO
There is a balance between personal choice and the common good, but in order to do some common good, sometimes it might require to give up some personal choice. This would be something like obeying your parents. Obeying your parents is considered common good, but sometimes you have to give up part of your personal choice to do whatever you want in order to be good and obey your parents.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Should the pursuit of happiness always trump collective societal needs?
@9H9H2G25mos5MO
No, the greater good of all should be the deciding factor.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What ethical dilemmas could arise in a society that prioritizes absolute personal autonomy?
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What part of your daily routine would change most if there were no societal expectations?
@9HVJNLLConstitution4mos4MO
I would spend most of the day preaching to people who are lost, since I wouldn't need to show up to school.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How would you propose we handle education if there were no state-run schools?
@9HVJPZ84mos4MO
free will is logically incompatible with a deterministic universe
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Can you share a personal experience where more freedom of choice could have led to a better outcome?
@9HRSBRZ4mos4MO
if the united states didnt interfere in socialist/democratically formed countries in the global south, these countries would prosper better economically, examples being viewed vietnam, cuba, chile, etc
@9HRSG3J4mos4MO
Freedom of choice in abortion decisions where the mothers life is in danger, in cases of rape, and in cases of fetuses with health issues.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
In a community with no police force, how would you envision maintaining safety and order?
@9JNSDJW3mos3MO
I would envision maintaining safety and order by people and keeping a safe, calm environment.
@9JNSHC43mos3MO
I would vision people would hopefully still own self defense weapons. But i would also hope these communities would be more selective and generally less violent than other areas that need police
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
If everyone pursued their own interests, do you think that would naturally lead to a fair and functional society?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Without any government safety standards, how would you evaluate the safety of products you buy?
