	Libertarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Libertarians strongly oppose infringement of civil liberties such as restrictions on free expression (e.g., speech, press, or religious practice), prohibitions on voluntary association, or encroachments on persons or property except as a result of due process to establish or punish criminal behavior.
		Libertarianism is often viewed as a right-wing movement, especially by non-libertarians in the United States and Canada, where libertarians tend to have more in common with traditional conservatives than American liberals, especially with regards to economic and gun control policies.
		Libertarian perspectives on animal rights: A small number of libertarians grant basic rights to animals (they count as individuals and therefore have the right not to be subjected to coercion), while others see animals as property, and think their owners are free to treat them as they wish.

		A libertarian movement is no more "collectivist" than a corporation, a bridge club, or any other organization; it is curious that some libertarians, while conceding the merits of all other such "collective" organizations, balk only at one that would advance the cause of liberty itself.
		The individual libertarian, who places the triumph of liberty high on his value scale, decides to join a movement which is requisite to the achievement of his goal, just as does the member of a bridge club or the investor in a steel manufacturing corporation.
		For the libertarian, this means two things: (1) that he must never deny or fail to uphold the ultimate goal of libertarian victory; and (2) that he must never use or advocate the use of unlibertarian means—of aggression against the persons or just property of others.

	The 'Failure' of the Libertarian Movement [ Free State Project - Liberty in Our Lifetime ]
		The original strategy of the libertarian movement was based on the model of the socialist parties of the early 20th century, particularly Norman Thomas' Socialist Party of the 1930s.
		The libertarian movement was an attempt to imitate this success - to move the major parties in the direction of liberty by raising an ideologically extreme banner.
		Libertarian Party candidates are getting the same percentage of the vote in the new century as they got in the '70s.

	The Libertarian Movement in America
		Libertarianism's painstakingly consistent logic— a logic of liberty— precisely what renders the libertarian movement a difficult one to hold together and the Libertarian Party a tough one to push.
		The libertarian attempt to translate their principles intact into practice leaves them open to the charge of practicing what James Madison called mere "closet philosophy." For the essence of political life is precisely that movement from the level of theory to the level of practice; ideas have to be accommodated to time and place.
		The libertarians' greatest contribution to the conservative intellectual and political movements in America is in the area of domestic policy— specifically, in the areas of welfare and the economy.

		Libertarian media recognition began to drop because of a new organization appearing in early 1972 to the near-universal scorn of the highly anti-political and even revolutionary libertarian movement, the 'Libertarian' Party or LP.
		Libertarian science-fiction fans (frefen) had turned their parties into 'Heinlein Wakes' in the late 1980s, and that culminated in the largest, most international gathering of libertarian writers at The Hague over the 'Bank Holiday' weekend in late August where NL All-SF Triple Issue premiered.
		The Libertarian Party was in such bad shape that SEK3 called for a ceasefire and re-direction of energy in the previous issue of NL; with the collapse of the Berlin Wall, key libertarians 'retired' to engage in a personal life for a couple of years.

	Free software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The libertarian ideal can be characterised as being in favour of social liberty (including free speech, a free press and privacy) as well as economic liberty (including property rights and individual control over property) and in favour of a capitalist free market.
		There is some evidence that free software is congruent with libertarian ideals of economic liberty, intellectual property [6] and freedom from invasions of privacy.
		Many in the free software movement see the whole affair as a vindication of Richard Stallman's principled position over the more utilitarian approach of Linus Torvalds.

	out of step: Building a New Libertarian Movement
		We fight for the radicalization of the present Libertarian Movement, much of which is rotten with corruption, compromise, conservatism, co-opting, and cowardice.
		Summarizing volumes of movement and submovement history, what happened to the Left is that it (largely) abandoned the idea that Property was a bulwark against the Establishment (in the 17th and 18th Century, largely landed aristocracy) and a basis for freedom.
		Although the movement grew from thousands to millions in less than a decade, it faced the same crisis of whether or not to form a political party in 1972 that the socialists had faced in 1900.

	A look at a female perspective on the libertarian movement.
		The Libertarian Party's disagreement with anti-discrimination laws is probably pretty darn popular in some areas down south.
		column, "Harry Browne, Libertarian Party candidate for president in 1996 and 2000, put it this way, 'freedom from government — on all issues at all times.'" Why would a libertarian believe it was fine for government to restrict businesses from selling drugs.
		Libertarians, however, see the Jeffersonian legacy of free public education as just another government program to be eradicated.

		The libertarian movement is even large enough to include an incomprehensible "post-libertarian" academic journal, which tries to integrate libertarianism, Marxism, and deconstruction, a periodical doggedly edited by a Chekhovian type of Permanent Graduate Student, except that he is considerably less harmless and better funded than Chekhov's rather lovable character.
		The fascinating point is that virtually all of these movement institutions, from the think-tanks to the magazines to the once purist Libertarian Party have, in the last few years, moved at remarkable speed to abandon any shred of their original principles: devotion to minimizing government or defending the rights of private property.
		Weld's "libertarianism," in the minds of himself and his left-libertarian admirers, consists almost completely of his passionate devotion to "gay rights," as well as his practicing gay affirmative action by appointing to high state positions a large number of open gays.

	The Libertarian Communist Home Page
		It is quite different from the Marxist-Leninist "communist" movement which did not initiate communism in the USSR and China but actualy a form of state capitalism, where the government, not the working people, controlled all property and production.
		All of these movements advocate the self-emancepation of the working class, and are opposed to using the electorial process to gain political power, prefering revolution.
		New movements like the Libertarian Party and so-called anarcho-capitalism represent rightwingers who wish to steal the basic words and ideas of anarchists and make them stand for capitalism and a government of bosses and corporations.

	Sell Out and Die by Murray N. Rothbard
		For that reason, it scarcely deserved the name of movement; the guiding concept was what I call "educationism": that libertarians write, lecture, teach, and spread the word, and that somehow the victory of liberty would one day magically be achieved.
		From 1976 on, in contrast, the movement began to flourish under a movement-building, or cadre-building, perspective; the idea was to concentrate on building a movement of knowledgeable libertarians, of men and women who would be deeply committed to hard-core libertarian principle.
		Sure, it’s respectable; and for the very same reason, it means that we, as libertarians, are advocating the indefinite and hence the permanent freezing in place of the statist structure.

	LP News January 1999 - Party makes bid for Silicon Valley support
		Libertarian Party leaders traveled to Silicon Valley in November to try to build bridges with the computer industry -- and explain to cyber-CEO's why they should "invest" in a start-up third party.
		The message that Libertarians wanted to get across to conference attendees, said Dasbach, is that "if we are successful in our efforts to become a major party, we offer the kind of unregulated environment in which the computer industry can thrive."
		In addition to the three Libertarian Party officials, 1996 LP president candidate Harry Browne also attended the event.

	Libertarian Heritage No. 5
		The Leveller movement perceived that the previous arrangement was at an end and that the issue of sovereignty had to be renegotiated.
		The Leveller movement had alienated several powerful groupings within the English body politic, groupings such as the army Grandees and various of the groups which constituted the new "ruling class" within the new commonwealth, people and interests who were deeply suspicious of Leveller motives and politics.
		The libertarian clarity, and anti-collectivist nature, of Leveller thought is apparent and particularly impressive for the seventeenth century, a century still stamped with much of the theory and mystique of absolutism.

	Some thoughts on anti-sexism in the libertarian movement - International Gender - Anarkismo
		This invisibility of women's oppression, in particular, comes primarily from the fact that many libertarians (men and women) have a compartmentalized vision of struggles as if women's issues could be reduced to one area of struggle.
		Although in the struggles against the bosses, against poverty and economic instability, or for freedom of movement and immigrant rights, women are the first effected, it is rarely mentioned in political literature, for example, to what they are subjected because of their sex.
		In the libertarian movement and elsewhere, nothing will change without the mobilization of the interested parties: women, lesbians, gays, bisexuals, the trans-gendered; and the involvement of men and heteros is imperative if the latter want to be consistent in their libertarian thought.

		Like the neocons, these "libertarian trosykyites" (or lib trots) support global capitalism because they see it as a revolutionary force, smashing old traditions and ways of life and making the world into one giant "dynamic" market functioning under the watchful eye of a global superstate.
		Lib trots are willing to use state power to advance their global revolution, hence their support for institutions such as the World Trade Organization and interest in "reforming," rather than abolishing, the IMF.
		While their numbers, and influence, are not as great as the neocons, lib trots may represent a greater thereat for they give "libertarian" cover to the insidious idea that war, empire, and global governance can be used to promote human liberty.

		The Libertarian Party adopted Lady Liberty, the symbol of freedom.

		The idea for a penguin was inspired by W. Luther Jett, who suggested the mascot in a letter to the LP News in 1994.
