DO YOU THINK it would be good to have a similar party in YOUR COUNTRY, running for national ELECTIONS? Why / why not?

The best party is Breakpoint anyway.

WTF?! I don't like this party, because they don't release any demos at major demo parties.

The Libertarian way is a logically consistent approach to politics based on the moral principle of self-ownership. Each individual has the right to control his or her own body, action, speech, and property. Government's only role is to help individuals defend themselves from force and fraud.

Quote:
The Libertarian Party is for all who don't want to push other people around and don't want to be pushed around themselves. Live and let live is the Libertarian way. (http://www.lp.org/introduction/what-is-the-libertarian-party)

Bailouts are ALWAYS bad for the taxpayer, for the economy, and for business. Why? Because rewarding the mismanagement of American corporations with a taxpayer-subsidized lifeline does NOTHING to encourage reform or fix the problems that pushed the companies to the brink of failure. As we said in a statement, these bailouts do nothing but prolong... Mehr lesen the inevitable collapse of companies suffering from extreme mismanagement and poor investments. ... Why are taxpayers being used to reward this mismanagement? ... A bailout is a perverse transfer from poor taxpayers to rich taxpayers. (http://www.lp.org/issues/current-issues)

The individual's right to privacy, property, and right to speak or not to speak should not be infringed by the government. The government should not use electronic or other means of covert surveillance of an individual's actions or private property without the consent of the owner or occupant. ... We oppose the issuance by the government of an ... Mehr lesenidentity card, to be required for any purpose, such as employment, voting, or border crossing. We further oppose the nearly universal requirement for use of the Social Security Number as a personal identification code, whether by government agencies or by intimidation of private companies by governments.

Politicians are cowards. They start wars that have to be ended by innocent people with families out on the battlefield.

Do yourself a favour, Adok. Join the army, or some bumbrigade.

In the real world, libertarianism works just as well as communism, because like communism, it's based on a flawed perception of how people think and work.
added on the 2009-08-21 19:09:10 by Preacher Preacher
And worse, it wrongly assumes that all people are born equally fortunate and have equal chances in life, which is not the case. The most disgusting libertarians I know think that things like inequality and bad luck are things that should just be accepted, and perhaps even encouraged, instead of being mitigated by the society.

The political concept of the future is the abolishment of class society, destruction of capitalism and liberation of the wage slaves. You may label it how you wish, I call it freedom.

All over the place people are thinking "well, the so called democrats didn't get it, neither did the conservatives, commies stink and I'll never vote for right wingers. Let's try the middle."

Those fellows just don't get the fact, that they're forced in a literally two-dimensional world view paradigm ranging between left and right.

All those political parties, once they gained enough votes to enter parliament (well, we have some nice pre-selection here in germany ... the 5% hurdle), the congressmen become part of the parliamental circle, thus targets of lobbyists.
Once your desired party gets the power the corruption goes wild and so long to the great ideas.

And what is it with this bloody Pirate Party anyway... people should do their homework from where this skull and crossbones (yes, also caribean pirate skull) comes from.

I'm with El Topo in the issue. I want real freedom - meaning do and say whatever you like but don't force your will unto another person.

"libertarianism" is such a complicated word. complicated things are usually buggy. also, "parties" are usually collections of idiots.

the real future is:

no states
no governments
daily orgies on the streets

i call this "the era of public fucking".
