    Hard disagree, Libertarians are conservative anti-tax Laissez-Faire dumpster fires. They can never be left. Deregulation is not progress.

      As long as you keep capitalizing the name and refer to the American political party, I would agree. However, grue is objectively correct here. A very wide set of ideologies fall under libertarianism.

      A wide swath of libertarians find even the idea of a political party objectionable, for example.

        Libertarian:

        • One who advocates maximizing individual rights and minimizing the role of the state.

        • One who believes in free will.

        • One who holds to the doctrine of free will.

        DEREGULATION IS NOT PROGRESS. These guys basically have an identical ideology to LeVayen Satanism: “Do What Thou Wilt”.

          Libertarian: literally every ideology on the bottom half of the Political Compass, by definition.
