Libertarianism

Open Hyena-witch opened this issue 6 years ago • 6 comments

This was in the main 8values test.

I came out as a libertarian (and fair enough I am very anti-authoritarian). My issue is real libertarians are pro "freedom of speech" and stuff and like to ignore privilege and power. As an intersectional feminist I often get into conflicts with libertarians. I am not a libertarian at all.

I feel there is room for more nuance along this binary.

You're misdefining libertarian. It simply means anti-authoritarianism. Anti-feminists are the fake libertarians if anyone is.

agreed, libertarian party, and libertarian-ism are different

Do I get this correct that libertarianism is in the extreme case anachro capitalism and the intersectional feminists are more identified as anarcho communist.

intersectional feminists

Feminism is an idea not wide enough to be an ideology, it is simply a lobby to get benefits for females. It does not cover how the market works, or does anything other than lobbying for women, why do you call yourself a feminist in an opposition to a political ideology like libertarianism? What else, call yourself a gay, oil company lobby, gun owner or a star wars fan?

Libertarians are free to be anti-anyone freely, most libertarians do dislike feminism and are not scared to express their hate - Mikhail Svetov, the leader of Russian Libertarian Party is known to criticize feminists and juvenile justice. Libertarians also are not against private discrimination and racism as it would violate freedoms (but they are not supporting it as well and leave the right for everyone to decide who they are). Generally, feminism is an attempt to take away freedoms of people in favour of certain women, so anyone anti-authoritarian will be against 3rd wave feminism. Needless to say, a lot of libertarians supported previous waves feminists whose kampf was for human rights.

I think the problem is one word doesn't represent economic/moral beliefs. Maybe try two word cominations, such as:

  • Anarcho-communist
  • Classical libertarian etc.
