Not to be confused with
Liberalism.
Libertarianism, or more simply Right-Libertarianism or Libertarian Capitalism, is a civically libertarian, laissez-faire capitalist and culturally variable ideology. He inhabits the
libertarian right quadrant of the political compass, generally being in the middle of it unless specified.
He believes in a very limited government and the individual's natural self evident rights of life, liberty, and property. He likes the use of militias to watch them.
He technically believes in the same principles of classical liberalism of equality before the law and the basic rights to life, liberty, and property, along with most librights, although some people debate most libertarians are only libertarians because of the precise ideology and not the principles of it.
History
Naming Controversy
A narrative often held up by Left-wing Libertarians is that the term "Libertarian" was originally a socialist term, which was later appropriated by the right. This conception is a half true.
There are two origins of the term.
The term "Libertarian" was originally coined in the File:Monkeyzz-Enlightenment.png enlightenment File:Enlightnenment.png to describe supporters of free will (as opposed to determinism) and with it generally free action. With the first recorded usage of the term being in 1789 in reference to metaphysics. While the first political usage belongs to the libertarian communist, Joseph Déjacque, who used the French word libertaire in a letter to
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. Déjacque also started employing the term
Anarchism at a similar time to Proudhon, but conceded it to him, calling Proudhon a "
center right anarchist,
liberal and not
libertarian (...) you want free trade for cotton and the candle...", in favor of identifying as a "Libertarian" only.
Déjacque, from 1858 to 1861, ran a paper titled “The Libertarian”, but it wasn’t very successful, and only lasted around 3 years.
After that, from 1861 to 1884, the term was rarely used, before being revived by Benjamin Tucker to refer to individualist anarchists, alongside of course the term “anarchism”. The term thus gained more popularity, during these times, in
the United States than in Europe.
The term “libertarian communism” was also used at some French regional conferences in the 1880s but it was popularized by Benjamin Tucker before it was reclaimed by anarcho-communists.
After this resurgence of the term Libertarian brought about by Tucker, the term once again started to be popularly used as an euphemism for anarcho-communism and other
radical left-wing ideologies, half a century before it became widely used within right-wing circles.
The term "Libertarianism" only acquired its present meaning at the split from liberalism before the 30s. Put simply, what was originally Liberalism split into what we now know as
classical liberalism and
social liberalism.
The term Liberalism had been associated with the Democratic party ever since Grover Cleveland became president. However, during the campaign of Franklin D. Roosevelt the term started to be associated with the
social liberalism.
This, in turn, created two definitions of the term
liberalism, the American definition, by which Liberalism was associated to the modern Democratic Party, and the definition in the rest of the world, where Liberalism kept its meaning being about the same thing as modern day
libertarianism.
Later, with the radicalization of the classical liberal circles in the later 20th century, and taking inspiration from some already radical classical liberal thinkers of the 19th century, some of them prefered to stop being called classical liberals and adopted the term "Libertarian" completely. Classical liberalism thus started to be associated to
Chicago economics and the free-market wing of
Neoclassical economics, while Libertarianism became closer to the
Austrian School of Economics.
The western definition is also closely tied to anarcho-capitalism as the radical wing that sought to split itself from more moderate
classical liberals was predominantly made up of Rothbardians.
Proto-Libertarianism
While Libertarian ideals could be considered to be rooted in history since antiquity (with examples being the 6th century B.C. Chinese Philosophers Lao-Tzu and Chuang-tzu), the modern incarnation of them can be traced to the radicalisation of Classical Liberal principles that occurred through the later half of the 19th century and through the 20th.
The most influential of these 19th century movements is generally considered to be French Liberal School, of Frederic Bastiat and Gustave de Molinari fame. With the former being known for positing that law becomes unjust and corrupted when it punishes the right of self-defence of one individual in favour of other individuals' plunder and the latter for being originator of ideas that were essentially Voluntaryist.
How to Draw
Libertarianism's design is based on the Gadsden Flag.
- Draw a ball.
- Draw eyes on the ball.
- Fill the ball around the eyes with yellow.
- Draw a coiled timber rattlesnake.
- (Optional) Draw grass under the rattlesnake.
For more detail add "DONT TREAD ON ME" or the simpler "NO STEP" under the rattlesnake.
