Libertarianism
Libertarianism

Libertarianism can be defined as an extreme laissez-faire political philosophy advocating only minimal state intervention in the lives of citizens. This philosophy also tends to uphold freedom and liberty as the highest political end. However, libertarianism does not solely focus on the rights and freedom of the individual, but it also strives to improve political freedom and voluntary association. The libertarian party is also the third largest political party in the United States, as well as the fastest growing. Those who founded the party did so in December of 1971 because they came to the conclusion that politicians had strayed from the original libertarian organization in the U.S. Libertarians recognize that all citizens have the responsibility to preserve heritage and freedom for generations to come. Libertarians strongly oppose any government interfering in their personal, family and business decisions. In simpler terms, they are advocates of a smaller government, lower taxes, and more freedom. However, libertarians are neither liberal nor conservative, this distinction is based upon the fact that libertarians advocate a very high degree of both personal liberty and economic liberty. Although the libertarian party is neither conservative nor liberal, it tends to borrow from both sides to come up with a logical entirety, and is known as the “Party of Principle.” Although the party is most successful being in charge of government at the local level, the party is active in all fifty states, and has had presidential candidates in the past. Libertarian candidates running for office at the federal, state and local levels throughout the United States are offering voters libertarian solutions that make you freer while making the federal government less costly, bossy and intrusive. On major issues of the government at the moment such as abortion, civil rights, corporation, crime, drugs, etc., the libertarian party mainly believes that

    According to 2012 Presidential Election results, Incumbent Barack Obama received 50.6% of the national popular vote, with 47.8% for Republican Candidate Mitt Romney, and 1.6% for third party votes and write-ins. That is a .3 point increase for third parties despite the lower voter turnout this year (Bryan 1), which is more than most were anticipating. More than half that, at almost 1% in the national popular vote, (Wachtler 2) goes to Libertarian Party candidate and former New Mexico Governor, Gary Johnson and his running mate, James "Jim" Gray. While this may not seem like much, it is more than the results for all the other third parties combined, making the Libertarian Party the leading third party and most likely the eventual real competition of the mainstream parties or perhaps even the next mainstream party, decades or even just years from now. America is due for a new mainstream party. One must remember that the United States was not always run by Republicans and Democrats, but by Federalists, Anti-Federalists, Whigs, and…

    The faction that aligns the closest to my views is the Libertarian party. Libertarians are considered to be neither liberal nor conservative. Most Libertarians want to do away with the two party system. I believe this faction is the purest form of government. That being said, there are a couple things I do not agree with. For example, most libertarians believe that abortions should be illegal and want to reduce military spending. Overall, I agree with this party’s point of view the…

    They are, however, more geared towards a community-based economy and stand firm with regulation of higher minimum-wages and “provide a decent standard of living for all people while maintaining a healthy ecological balance.” The Green Party is also fervent to decentralize wealth and power, which they think are the key problems with social and economic injustice, environmental destruction, and militarization. They therefore, unlike the Libertarians, would rather restructure the government, and with it social and economic institutions “away from a system which is controlled by and mostly benefits the powerful few, to a democratic, less bureaucratic system.” The Green Party is a widely social equal party, and stands for the equality of all, which the government should manage through the previously mentioned methods, and government programs like universal health care. To contrast the Libertarian Party, the Green Party also stands for higher gun control and limiting of particular types of weapons, stricter procedures when purchasing a gun, and less public…

    ‘Two glass jars with different labels, both empty’; this has long been the popular opinion of the differences between the two major US parties, the Democrats and Republicans. However, in recent decades, we have seen the emergence of two distinct ideological identities in both the UK, and US. Liberalism has emerged – a belief that the federal government should have an active role in protecting the vulnerable and guaranteeing rights, and Conservatism, a belief that the government should be restricted in order for the individual to achieve their potential. However, the extent to which the Democrats and Liberal Democrats, supposedly Liberal parties, and the Republicans and Conservatives, who promote themselves as such ‘conservative’ right wing-ers, adhere to these philosophies is arguable.…

    The Republican Party has always been the true political party of the United States of America. When referring to the Declaration of Independence’s three principles based on John Locke’s and Thomas Jefferson‘s definitions of them. The three principles of the Declaration are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Republican Party is superior to the Democratic Party in upholding the Declaration’s principles and biblical God given rights. There are three policies that show that coincide with the prominent Declaration principles that exemplify the dominance of the Republican Party to the Democratic Party. For principle life it is the parties views on abortion, liberty it is the views on gun control, and the pursuit of happiness it is the views on taxes.…

    Classical liberalism is much like individualism. Classical liberalist believes that the government should have a limit and that individual liberty it what matters most. Individual liberty including freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly, and free markets are all good examples of what classical liberalism would consist of. Classical liberals do not like for the government to interfere with their personal lives. They stress instead reliance on private initiatives or the free market to determine the best outcomes. (p. 3) Classical liberals are individuals who like to put themselves before anything or anyone. Therefore, when I think classical liberalism, I think about a saying my sister always say “let me do me while you do you”. Classical liberals do not trust the government 100%, but they respect the government.…

    Libertarian Stereotypes

    There are certain stereotypes about libertarians that hold some truth. Many people who followed this movement, do so only to advance a personal agenda and do not follow the whole ideology. There are a couple of people in this group who only use the label “libertarian” just to agree with Democrats and Republicans. Also, some individuals joined just so they could spout anti-government hate. For example, Alex Jones associated himself with libertarians just so he could get attetion to his cause. He runs an entire news channel on misinformation or scare tactics so he could influence other people to follow him. This group is known to also have a couple of nut jobs here and there, but at the end of the day, it should not take away from their core principles for which libertarians stand for.…

    Tea Party Ideology

    • 1612 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Since the inauguration of President Obama, we have watched with horror how the Tea Party has taken over the GOP. What started up as a bunch of disgruntled misfits, has mushroomed into a larger movement and taken over the Republican Party. Arguably, they were aided and abetted by the libertarian oligarchs, David and Charles Koch’s hidden interests which financed and supported the groups with huge donations to their “cause” and candidates running on Tea Party platform. Gradually, we have seen GOP abandon its conservative core beliefs and shamelessly acquiesced to the irresponsible demands of this fringed group. The result is what is today the unrecognizable and clearly the un-conservative party formerly known as the GOP. Among other things, the Tea Party demanded ideological purity, views compromise as weakness, believes in fundamentalist scriptural literalism, vehemently denies scientific truths and are unmoved by facts or deterred by new information. They have a hostile fear of progress and actively demonize anyone who believes in education. They, like most conservatives have an inordinate desire…

    Every 4 years, we as Americans, come together in attempt to find the best possible candidate to become our next President. We look for a trustworthy, respectable, and intelligent person who thinks rationally and who agrees with us on most political issues. We have done this 57 times so far, and of all of these men, one most favorably remembered, is Ronald Reagan. Reagan once said that libertarianism is “the very heart and soul of conservatism.” If one of our favorite presidents believed in libertarianism, then we should put someone in office that also believes in libertarianism and they will likely get a similar reputation. Although Rand Paul is running for the Republican Ticket, he tends to incorporate many libertarian ideals into his policies.…

    Anarchism, not in the sense of lawlessness, but in the sense of noninterventionist governmental policy and activity, has a colorful history in the United States. It has enjoyed periods of welcoming and periods of scorn by every class of people and for widely varied reasons. It is embraced by free market economists and by the socially liberal, favored in part by both major parties and wholly endorsed by the Libertarian Party in the U.S. today. In the past, its place has been substantially different, for at different periods of time, different policies and mindsets on the parts of the citizens and the government have been at the forefront of progressive thought. Whether it is considered novel, conservative, beneficial, or detrimental is all dependent on a large array of contemporary social and economic considerations.…

    (John, 2014) Conservatives are ideologically defined by their strict adherence to traditional values and practices as well as their support for little to no governmental regulation and their emphasis on individual citizens taking personal responsibility. Liberals are alternatively defined by their belief that the government should be active in the regulation of the people in order to protect the citizens from the possibility of unequal and discriminatory actions. (Rosalee & Zoe, p134) Liberals are also recognized by their beliefs in the overall equality of citizens, protection of liberties and progressive thinking that is based on the idea that there is overall an essential goodness to the mass populous. While there are vast differences between these opposing sides, it is possible to see how a person may agree with a conservative view of government while simultaneously believing in the humanist attributes of the liberal…

    Being A Libertarian

    • 580 Words
    • 3 Pages

    If I had to choose, I would classify myself as a Libertarian. As a Libertarian, you make your own choices and accept the consequences of these choices. When other countries view the United States, they will always say how much freedom we have. Yes, we do have more freedom compared to other countries, but we are still limited on what we can do. Even though we have freedom of speech, we can get in trouble for saying certain things. I believe we should be able to choose what we do and say. I may not agree with a choice someone makes, but ultimately that is their choice. It will affect their life and they will have to live with their choice, not me. For instance, we all have our opinions about abortion. No person is going to change our mind…

    Utilitarianism and libertinism are debatable philosophies to decide what is just. Utilitarian main principle is maximizing society happiness. From Utilitarian point of view, the best action is the action produce happiness for the greatest amount of people. Even though minority of people will suffer for the majority’s happiness. Moreover, utilitarianism measures the cost and benefit in single scale which is happiness. From this view, any other things than happiness are not valuable.

This means, individuals take the responsibility of their own choice and do whatever they want without hurting anyone. Self-ownership is the name of Libertarianism principle.…
