Im 16, and I was watching a unrelated video and got interrupted by this ad. I have to say, I learned something and this is me and my believes on every aspect of life. People should have the right to make their own choices. Adults who think otherwise would try to bring a 16 year old down for believing in what that think is right. Telling me "NO you're wrong! You're just a kid who doesn't understand." How can I not understand my views, if I made my mind up about them? Dont judge my CHOICE on views

Let me tell you something. The ONLY person I've ever met that has the same political views as me is my dad. Watching this video made me SO happy. This is how America SHOULD be set up.

The universities consider Classical Liberalism (Libertarianism) to be outdated, and the media pays it no mind.

- at some point that the common man would rather give up an arm and a leg than return to the misery of pre-industrial society, eventually turned to an anti-market, state-controlled mode of industrial production (think Mercantilist France, possibly with touches of Plato's Republic). The Neo-Liberals (which you yanks just call Liberals) followed suit with their own big government ideology, and invented things like Marxism, which replaced the Classical Liberals on the "left" side of the political -

In Europe, what you call Libertarianism is usually called Liberalism, and that which you call Liberalism is called Neo-Liberalism. This isn't always the case, though.It gets even more confusing when you consider historical contexts. The Classical Liberals would be considered radical Libertarians today, and the Classical Conservatives were proponents of aristocracy and agriculture, who opposed democracy, industry and the free markets which generated them.The Conservatives, perhaps realizing -

Libertarianism = a doctrine based on a mixture of great ideas and other retarded ideas. |
