Libertarianism
From Metapedia
Libertarianism is a political philosophy that upholds the principle of individual liberty. Libertarians maintain that all persons are the absolute owners of their own lives, and should be free to do whatever they wish with their persons or property, provided they allow others the same liberty. In continental Europe, and to a lesser extent Ireland and Britain, the older political meaning of libertarianism prevails, as a synonym for anarchism, adapted in late 19th century France as a term that would be more acceptable to the authorities.
The word libertarian is an antonym of authoritarian.
Libertarian author and politician Harry Browne wrote: "We should never define Libertarian positions in terms coined by liberals or conservatives – nor as some variant of their positions. We are not fiscally conservative and socially liberal. We are Libertarians, who believe in individual liberty and personal responsibility on all issues at all times. You can depend on us to treat government as the problem, not the solution." [1]
