Excellent satire of those silly libertarians :)

@Urudrim, you bring up an interesting point, I've never thought about the origins of the word libertarian. I certainly mean to be referring to the moral philosophy of non-aggression, based on individual property rights.

@Urudrim Many words have different meanings now than they had 150 years ago ;) Language is just a tool and it changes.

@khunag you may be talking to friends who have been influenced by the american libertarianism. the original version of libertarianism (concerning politics) was coined and defined by joseph déjacque, who was an anarchist communist.

@Urudrim Not true, I'm Polish myself and have spoken to many libertarians from the UK, Germany and other European countries and none of them advocated communal ownership of property and they understood libertarianism in the same I and American libertarians do. Also note that while objectivism may be considered somewhat conservative Ayn Rand herself disliked libertarianism. Libertarianism is not conservative and definitely not socialist.

@leafwatch correct, i did not mean to imply that libertarianism is bound by national borders. i only pointed out that this particular philosophy of libertarianism was made popular in america, hence it's the american version as opposed to the version that the rest of the world is familiar with.

@tommyg5123 by american libertarianism, i mean that it is a conservative philosophy based on objectivism. the original libertarianism is a socialist philosophy advocating communal ownership of property.

@Urudrim Libertarianism is a personal philosophy. It isn't bounded by national borders. The core essence is the Non-aggression Principle. That's all, yet it is profound.  All states are coercive, the label is not important. But peace and freedom only work together. Libertarians advocate voluntary cooperation and personal responsibility for actions.

@ urudrim what do you mean?
