Social Libertarianism: Difference between revisions

'''Libertarian Social Democracy''' is a economically centre-left and civically libertarian ideology. It is considered a more moderate form of [[File:Libsoc.png]] [[Libertarian Socialism|left-libertarianism]]. It supports basic [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|social democratic]] principals and policies but with an added focus on [[File:Liberty.png]] [[Civil Libertarianism|civil liberties]] and is opposed to rampant [[File:Sec.png]] statism outside of the economy. They also tend to support [[File:Directdem.png]] [[Democracy#Direct Democracy|Direct Democracy]] and [[File:Antiimp.png]] [[Non-Interventionism|Non-Interventionist]] foreign policy. Notable examples of Libertarian Socdems include late former Alaska senator [[File:Gravelism.png]] Mike Gravel, left-wing political commentator and [[File:YouTube.png]] youtuber [[File:Kulinskism.png]] [[Left-Wing Populism|Kyle Kulinski]] and former [[File:Demcr.png]] Democratic presidential candidate, author and activist [[File:Pacifist.png]] [[Pacifist Feminism|Marianne Williamson]].

Despite sounding like a oxymoron, Libertarian Paternalism states that it is perfectly non-contradictory to have a small state the acts Paternalistic. This would be done through "Nudges", towards the populous in the favor of the state, while still respecting the citizen's right to not listen. An example would be things like cigarettes in most western countries. The citizen is completely free to buy and smoke them, but they are highly discouraged through things like high prices and and warnings on packaging.
