About us

An open, user owned community for the general disscussion of the libertarian philosophy.

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.

No problem, fellow libertarian.

Gosh the tankie snowflakes really don't like our community.

I don't know. I'm a true libertarian. A left libertarian and I gave the article an up vote. Because I agree with this ruling. Though you are not wrong that we are not fans of right wingers who pretend.

Yes, I didn't want to insult anyone on the left and certainly not the left-wing view. I was rather referring to a strongly leftist authoritarian group of users who are strongly represented here on lemmy. Sorry for the wording.
