What's a Libertarian?___________________________________________________________
Libertarianism is
the most future looking of American ideologies.
It sells the promise of a world (humanity) hasn't yet fully known, one with personal liberty, limited only by preventing damage to other people or their property. It's a world that would be freer, richer, and even cleaner...
|
Libertarians believe either or both...
- that people have a right to be mostly left alone to conduct their own affairs inasmuch as they don't harm others, or...
- that things will on balance work out best for everyone if they are.
|
They define, "work out best" to mean creating the most varied and richest culture and economy.
...people will flourish and be happiest to the extent that they are free to..choose their own life plans and pursue them as best they are able...
- new ways of living,
- new ways of meeting human needs and desires,
- even new ways of understanding what it means to be human,
that will enrich us all.
