	Libertarian perspectives on the death penalty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most libertarians believe that death penalty is an extreme exertion of state power and is of little use in a free society, while it is of great use to tyrants.
		On the other hand, libertarians believe in the right and occasional necessity to resort to violence for police purposes; to them, if an outright criminal cannot be otherwise made to stop engaging in criminal behaviour, then they might justifiably be killed.
		The death penalty is sometimes seen as a corollary of an individual right to self-defense against a dangerous criminal.

	Libertarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Libertarians make "coercion" specific by defining it as the use of physical force, the threat of such, or deception (fraud) that alters, or is intended to alter, the way individuals' would use their property (including their body) if those elements were not present.
		Libertarian perspectives on abortion: The abortion debate among libertarians centers around whether the fetus is a person (and thus has its own rights) or a part of the mother's body (in which case it is subject to her wishes).
		Libertarian perspectives on gay rights: Most libertarians feel that adults have a right to choose their own lifestyle or sexual preference, provided that such expression does not trample on the same freedom of other people to choose their own sexual preference or religious freedom.

		Libertarians typically emphasise civil rights (such as the right to a fair trial or political participation, sometimes thought of as negative rights) over social rights (the right to a free education or employment, sometimes thought of as positive rights).
		Indeed, many libertarians consider that governments exist and will exist in the foreseeable future, up to the end of their lives, so that their efforts are better spent fighting, containing and avoiding the action of governments than trying to figure out what life could or couldn't be like without them.
		An alternate justification for libertarian ideas (broadly speaking), predicated on the use of reason and the observance of a certain code of ethics (rather than pursuit of social ends) is contained within the philosophy of Objectivism established by Ayn Rand.

		This is usually taken by libertarians to mean that no one may initiate coercion, which they define as the use of physical force, the potential use (threat) of such, or the use of fraud to prevent individuals from having wilful use of their person or property.
		Libertarian perspectives on intellectual property: Some libertarians believe that property rights in ideas and other intangible goods are natural rights that deserve just as much state protection as property rights in physical goods.
		Libertarian perspectives on gay rights: Most libertarians feel that adults have a right to choose their own lifestyle or sexual preference, provided that such expression does not trample on the same freedom of other people to chose their own sexual peference or religious freedom.

	LIBERTARIANISM FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Libertarianism is a political_philosophythat holds that all individuals should have the liberty to do as they wish with themselves and their property as long as those actions do not infringe on the same liberty of others.
		To protect individual rights, libertarians tend to favor a system of law based on a constitution (which may be supplemented by a bill_of_rights) that limits the range of government actions against individuals and protects them from the "tyranny_of_the_majority." Many libertarians favor common_law, which they see as less arbitrary, more consistent, and more adaptable over time.

		Libertarians in general, and anarcho-capitalists in particular, have developed two different approaches to their theories, from a utilitarian point of view, or from a point of view of natural law.
		Libertarians also argue that the market can be used to organize all or most aspects of society and have developed rational choice theory accordingly, while classical liberals such as Adam Smith argued there were limitations to the market's utility as a means of social organization.
		libertarian socialists, who are usually considered not to be libertarians at all (the feeling is mutual; anarcho-socialists and libertarian socialists claim that capitalism is incompatible with freedom, and thus libertarian/anarcho-capitalists cannot be considered libertarians at all).
