About us
An open, user owned community for the general disscussion of the libertarian philosophy.
- Libertarianism is the belief that each person has the right to live his life as he chooses so long as he respects the equal rights of others.
- Libertarians defend each person’s right to life, liberty, and property.
- In the libertarian view, voluntary agreement is the gold standard of human relationships.
- If there is no good reason to forbid something (a good reason being that it violates the rights of others), it should be allowed.
- Force should be reserved for prohibiting or punishing those who themselves use force.
Most people live their own lives by that code of ethics. Libertarians believe that that code should be applied consistently, even to the actions of governments, which should be restricted to protecting people from violations of their rights. Governments should not use their powers to censor speech, conscript the young, prohibit voluntary exchanges, steal or “redistribute” property, or interfere in the lives of individuals who are otherwise minding their own business.

MODERATORS
Well, I've made a reasoned response to someone's post and haven't been permabanned, so I have to assume that it's better here than the authoritarian state that r/libertarian has become!
Never thought I'd be banned from r/Libertarian. On the brightside, I've found a new place to discuss the issues we (mostly) all have in common!
On the contrary, it is strongly encouraged! I created this community with the idea of having an open space for all kinds of libertarian philosophies. Not like the community on reddit that is heavily focused on US politics and represents mostly right wing or even ancap ideology.
Regarding the modding of this community: I'd never just ban people because I don't sympathize with their ideas. This is an open and free space. Everything that stays on topic and helps a constructive discussion is highly welcome.
How libertarian of you. :)
Aww, what a nice compliment. Sometimes we forget that we should work together and not against us by gatekeeping political ideologies.
From what I've seen so far this is a pretty politically neutral place. The only people I've seen get shamed for their political beliefs were when 1 or 2 crazy magats started trying to raise a ruckus.
Exactly. I'll discuss the rewrite of the community info together with you guys in a future post. Currently I don't have that much time but I see that we already have some nice people here ;)
It is very welcoming. It is better than the r/Libertarian community on Reddit for sure. I enjoy it here.
Hey from your profile I can see that you have many exciting interests I'd love to have some conversations about...
Indeed. Thanks for noticing.
