You would have to start with clear definitions of what you believe each term represents because in many places there is a high degree of overlap between the two terms.

One promotes a system of universal rights, while the other promotes a slave state under the pretense of liberty. There is nothing free about state mandated equality. There is nothing free about great people not being allowed to achieve at no one's expense. There is nothing free about a "social contract" that no one agreed to but that that an authoritarian government holds as justification for theft and murder. Liberals are evil. They live their lives flaunting their weakness and fear as virtues, demanding that others pity them. They demand that others feel guilt. They go around sobbing about some idiotic and irrelevant social agenda and they act as if they are so much better than others because they care. They act as if they are so much better because they care, despite there being no rational reason for them to care. They think they are the greatest people on earth. They are not. They are vile and evil people. They hate achievement. They hate accomplishment. They look at some starving bum who threw away his life and praise him for suffering. They completely ignore the fact that he is suffering because he is an idiot and destroyed his life. They look at the man who accomplishes things with his life, such as a successful businessman, and they criticize him for being greedy. They are too irrational to realize that his greed is what gives them the material objects that they cherish so much. They criticize Bill Gates for being greedy but then they use his computers every day. They are irrational. They act as if a hobo is a better man than Clint Eastwood just because he is a loser. They act like being a loser is a good thing. They act like being poor is a good thing. There is nothing good about being a loser. There is nothing good about being poor. They spend their whole lives crying about how people are poor, but they viciously hate anyone who is not living in poverty. They hate themselves for not being in poverty. They give to charity to buy their lives from the overwhelming guilt of not being a hobo. They cry about the poor but secretly they want everyone to be poor. They are too ignorant and far too deep in denial to recognize that the current resources at our disposal are not anywhere near enough for everyone to live even a middle class life, but they want everyone to be financially equal anyways just to satisfy their idiotic and irrational ideology that has no basis in objective reality. I hate liberals.

I do not have man crushes. I admire and love individuals who deserve my admiration and love, such as Elijah Wood. Even if he did vote for Obama he is not truly a liberal. He is just naive about politics because he is too busy with his career. I do not know who you are referring to as the second person, but if you mean Rand Paul then that just makes no sense at all to call him a liberal.

Obviously statism at the state level is still bad, but allowing states a higher degree of self governance will make it easier to establish libertarian policies in certain areas.

Both have their flaws, libertarianism is too extreme on economic issues and liberalism isn't quite right on either social or economic issues.

That is what I am saying. If Elijah voted for Obama (and there is no way to know if he did) then it is because he is naive about politics and so he was sympathetic to Obama's campaign platform. That is a big if, though. Anyways I am pleased to see libertarianism dominating in the poll. This is proving what I said earlier about how there was going to be a huge demographic shift here in favour of libertarians. I was not expecting it to happen so soon, but I am still very pleased.

Libertarianism and communism aren't so different: both tend to be idealistic. Communism puts too much faith on the government; libertarianism puts too much faith on individuals.

Somewhere in the middle. I respect consistent libertarians and think libertarianism is a good idea on paper, but I'm probably for more government regulation than most libertarians.

government regulation is not necessary. companies that treat their employees well while still making profit will be the ones that succeed. obama and crew fail to realize this.

Or companies work together to become even more powerful than the government. If you can't alrady trust your government in having too much power, why would you give it to people with an explicitly self-serving purpose.

They look at the man who accomplishes things with his life, such as a successful businessman, and they criticize him for being greedy. They are too irrational to realize that his greed is what gives them the material objects that they cherish so much. They criticize Bill Gates for being greedy but then they use his computers every day. They are irrational. They act as if a hobo is a better man than Clint Eastwood just because he is a loser. They act like being a loser is a good thing. They act like being poor is a good thing. There is nothing good about being a loser. There is nothing good about being poor. They spend their whole lives crying about how people are poor, but they viciously hate anyone who is not living in poverty. They hate themselves for not being in poverty. They give to charity to buy their lives from the overwhelming guilt of not being a hobo. They cry about the poor but secretly they want everyone to be poor. They are too ignorant and far too deep in denial to recognize that the current resources at our disposal are not anywhere near enough for everyone to live even a middle class life, but they want everyone to be financially equal anyways just to satisfy their idiotic and irrational ideology that has no basis in objective reality. I hate liberals.

[QUOTE="4myAmuzumament"]government regulation is not necessary. companies that treat their employees well while still making profit will be the ones that succeed. obama and crew fail to realize this.one_plum

Or companies work together to become even more powerful than the government. If you can't alrady trust your government in having too much power, why would you give it to people with an explicitly self-serving purpose.

It can be even simpler than that - natural monopolies form over time for a variety of reasons, for example. There's also the ever present reality that many of those leading a company have conflicting interests with those of the company itself so long term success may not be what's actively being worked for. The libertarian concept generally relies on a market with perfect competition and a populace with complete and symmetrical information as well, while neither exists in reality.

Libertarianism and communism aren't so different: both tend to be idealistic. Communism puts too much faith on the government; libertarianism puts too much faith on individuals.

Say what? Some regulation is absolutely necessary in modern society. The trick is to have sound regulation designed to create or deter specific outcomes with sufficient flexibility to address unforeseen one off circumstance. In some cases we have this. In other cases we have excessive bureaucracy and regulation without clarity of purpose and outcomes. Or worse still, a system of regulation on top of regulation as a result of jurisdictional overlap and/or trying to paper over every gap or hole in the original intent with extra layers of BS. Regardless, it would be extremely naive to believe that all regulation is automatically bad.

[QUOTE="Laihendi"]

One promotes a system of universal rights, while the other promotes a slave state under the pretense of liberty. There is nothing free about state mandated equality. There is nothing free about great people not being allowed to achieve at no one's expense. There is nothing free about a "social contract" that no one agreed to but that that an authoritarian government holds as justification for theft and murder. Liberals are evil. They live their lives flaunting their weakness and fear as virtues, demanding that others pity them. They demand that others feel guilt. They go around sobbing about some idiotic and irrelevant social agenda and they act as if they are so much better than others because they care. They act as if they are so much better because they care, despite there being no rational reason for them to care. They think they are the greatest people on earth. They are not. They are vile and evil people. They hate achievement. They hate accomplishment. They look at some starving bum who threw away his life and praise him for suffering. They completely ignore the fact that he is suffering because he is an idiot and destroyed his life.

Neither is required. Only sheer will power can one overcome a mental disorder.

Classical libertarianism eg; Joseph Déjacque, Peter Kropotkin.

RushKing
Kropotkin was a Marxist anarchist.
