Freedom Matters.

LIBERTY. It's a simple idea, but it's also the linchpin of a complex system of values and practices: justice, prosperity, responsibility, toleration, cooperation, and peace. Many people believe that liberty is the core political value of modern civilization itself, the one that gives substance and form to all the other values of social life. They're called libertarians.

i'm not even sure government is even necessary or the best way to protect peoples rights... 

[Cornampoo]

chill out man. The phrase you're looking for is anarcho-capitalism; you can't vote for that. Voting libertarian (limited gov.) is at least a step in the right direction. If we keep fighting amongst each other we'll never get anything done.

[OccupyYourLives]

Learn to read properly before hastily replying to comments...I said countries working together, as individuals...I never spoke of internal Libertarianism, which I do agree, has never existed.

I was talking about international trade and inter-country relations between nations as being a libertarian framework as a whole.

[Ken Egervari]

Not every country lives in a libertarian framework. In fact, to the best of my knowledge, no country lives in such a framework so your premise (which is the basis of your argument) is false, so the entire post is false.

The fact that governments can act irrationally and non-objectively is not proof that human beings do not require a government to live best. We still need one - just not the kinds of governments we currently have to put up with today.

[OccupyYourLives]

But on the international scale...Each country is free & they all live in a libertarian framework, unless there is foreign intervention. Explain to me how these free agents, or countries, with different laws interact without whims from your imaginary threats?

libertarian statism is human slavery as is all statism. libertarianism is not freedom. anarchy is freedom. if you are not an anarchist, you support slavery.

[GlobalCitizensUnited]

This ain't Freedom, it's tyranny, this video oversimplifies Freedom, doesn't understand it, or liberty. For one, there are huge differences between workers and owners. Owners can fire and intimidate workers, not conversely. just for starters. Putting them on a par is effectively supporting the rule of owners over workers, with the support of state power itself largely under owner control, given concentration of resources.
