Libertarianism is a joke.

It's the 21st century version of laissez-faire. Instead of the government raping our asses, it's the corporations. I'd rather have some form of regulation in capitalism than none. Notice how the areas that resembles libertarianism politics the most are the areas that are leeching federal money and relies heavily on manufacturing jobs. Way to take care of your population.

Look, I wasn't saying it WASN'T a libertarian principle, I was saying it isn't a STRICTLY libertarian (the political social/economic ideologgy), and libertarians somehow seem to think that it is. "WELL, IF YOU'RE NOT LIBERTARIAN, YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN FREEDOM! DAMNED COMMUNIST!" I'm just sick and tired of libertarians taking freedom hostage.

Also, WHAT TEH FUCK IS STATISM!?
seriously, someone who wants a state? welcome to all the people in the world who are not hardcore libertarians or anarchists, or some other extreme ideology. it's the dumbest fucking word i've ever heard.

ohhh, wikipedia comes to the rescue!

Statism (or Etatism) is a very loose and often derogatory term that is used to describe:

   1. Specific instances of state intervention in personal, social or economic matters.
   2. A form of government or economic system that involves significant state intervention in personal, social or economic matters.

There is no precise definition of how much state intervention represents statism.


yeah, good job, statism sure is an evil ideology, oh wait, it isn't anything.
