In this video, we’re going to look at a simple explanation of libertarianism as well as the arguments for and against libertarianism.
Libertarianism is a political philosophy that advocates for minimal government intervention in the lives of individuals and the economy. It is based on the belief that individuals have the right to exercise autonomy and freedom of choice, as long as they do not harm others. This principle is often referred to as the "non-aggression principle" and is central to libertarianism.
Libertarians believe in the protection of individual rights and the importance of property rights. They argue that individuals should be free to make their own decisions about how to live their lives and that the government should not be involved in regulating personal behavior. This includes issues such as drug use, reproductive rights, among other things. In terms of economic policy, libertarians support free market capitalism and the abolition of government regulation and subsidies. They argue that a free market economy, in which prices are determined by supply and demand, is the most efficient and fair system. They also believe that government intervention in the economy, such as through taxes and regulations, hinders economic growth and prosperity.

First time I really took note of the term Libertarianism, was when I heard Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir, describe himself as one. That kind of says it all to me. These are the people pushing this type of ideology these days to fast track deregulation and escalate the wealth transfer and gain power. I don’t want to live by some billionaires rules who couldn’t in a million years understand what it is to live in poverty

@h3m1cuda Год назад

@Mountain Dew Baja Blast Political parties eventually only serve themselves. As we see today, the two main parties only care about being in power and gaining power. Neither cares about you or me. They do care about lobbyists and the companies that helped get them elected. Also, political parties lead to an us vs them ideology. This is especially evident these days. People automatically dislike someone from the other party. This breaks down communication between them and leads to further divide. People will also just vote for their party regardless of who is running- "Vote blue no matter who" This leads to puppet voters that don't even look at the issues or the qualifications of the person running for office. It's like a high school popularity contest. There is not substance only flash.

Strawman fallacies are ambiguous. Take the word libertarian. The suffix "ian" changes the root word liberal to mean the government and not the person.

In Libertarianism, it's the market that decides the winners and the losers. He who gets to market first, is more likely to win. In all forms of Collectivism, including our current captured "Crony Capitalism", it's the government that decides the winners and the losers. He who buys a congressman first, is more likely to win. Further, the government creates distortions of the market that can break it in new, and interesting, ways.

@amphibiousanimations7721 6 месяцев назад

The problem is that private corporations can be just as bureaucratic and tyrannical as the state. Just think about how bad customer service is. At least the state is (even if only very slightly) accountable to the people. Big businesses on the other hand are organised as dictatorships where he who buys a CEO or board member first is more likely to win 'Voting with your Dollar' is not a fix either, because some people have more dollars than others and this wealth is often not earned (inheritance, extraction of surplus value, etc.) The market certainly has the potential to be a far less corrupt and far more meritocratic means of organisation that statism, but only if each enterprise competing in the market is accountable to ordinary people

@@amphibiousanimations7721 Ultimately, in a free market businesses succeed by their ability to provide goods/services that satisfies customers. If people don't want what they are selling they spend their money elsewhere. Looking back several decades one can see that very few of the top corporations still exist as they have been displaced by more dynamic, innovative providers. With government, you get the same old ossified goods and services. No surprise socialist countries economies end up in the trash heap. Of course, the free market capitalism doesn't exist. To the degree it did, it has been replaced by another form of collectivism, fascism.

Having read academic work on libertarianism I am regretful to seem critical of your expressed view, but! Your discription of Libertarianism is actually a description of Neo libertarianism which is a capitalist based augmentation of the original libertarin concept. Not your fault though as this video failed to explain some of libertarianisms most fundamental principles. For example, while libertarianism does champion the notion of protection of private property, it only does this though to a certain extent. Under libertarian ideal one can only hold private capital which they can make use of and maintain. Under lebertarian law, lets say talking about farm land as the private property in question, any land that is left un used or not tended to, the land in disuse can be claimed and awarded to a party that decides to inhabit and make use of that particular land section. This means that an individual can only claim what they can maintain resonably. Though there is a subclause that allows for outsourcing labour under contracted social agreements, the real libertarian thought outlines a model of sustainability that is rather difficult to monopolise like you suggest above. this video didnt mention the exceptions to certain rules and the strict criteria which it must meet. I hope Im being conversive and not arguementative with you. Happy to exhange contrary thoughtys

@@AwesomeGuy445 The lack of regulation that libertarianism leads to gives too much power to corporations. How do you control them in a system that is already is so influenced by lobbying. I don't believe libertarian policies on economics have ever worked out , especially for the working class. In essence, what legislation would you use to prevent corporatism. The philosophy of private sectors being philanthropic and looking after employees, pensions, and communities is pretty far fetched. If you have certain legislation, would it still be considered libertarian, and if there is a time libertarian policy has worked in history, then can you cite a source to it.

@SL2797 Год назад

This is an excellent video! Very well explained, and I specially like the cons part, because they steelman a few of the points espoused by detractors of libertarianism. This is how I would counter those cons: 1. Income inequality: The freer the market, the higher the prosperity the society experiences, the more job and business opportunities there are, and the LOWER the cost of living. In such a society, even the poorest of people can have a pretty ok quality of life. Thus, in such a society where even the very poor have a decent life, who cares if people exist who earn 10x, 100x, 1000x what you earn, so long as they are doing so by providing a product or service that people want? 2. Lack of social safety net: First, the freer the market, the better for the poor, since that pushes the cost of living DOWN. Second, the inefficient and corrupt "safety nets" formerly provided by the government can be provided by PRIVATE CHARITIES and mutual-aid societies, way more effectively and efficiently. 3. Negative side effects: PROPERTY RIGHTS is what disincentivizes people to pollute. I won't pollute a lake or a piece of land if I know I can have a lawsuit coming my way from the owners of those places. Additionally, socialist countries are the ones which pollute the most. As for market failure, that's something which occurs precisely because of GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION. Let the market be, and see how the forces of supply and demand regulate it.

Hello, the US are a quite libertarian country as far as economics are concerned. Yet there are way more homeless people than in Norway, for example. In Norway, the state is interfering much more in the economics than in the US. There are currently around 653.000 homeless people in the United States and 333.287.557 (2022) US citizens in total. That means that roughly 0,00196% are homeless. In Norway there live 5.488.984 (2023) people and 3909 of them are homeless (2018), thus 0,00071% of that country's population have no home. Additionally, private charity companies in a capitalist society of course have the urge and need to make their company as efficient and profitable as possible. Yes, this favors innovation and new technology, but doesn't necessarily improve the actual quality and "amount" of charity per person, as some really important insurances for example could be financially unreachable for poorer people. You see this today with the hormone Insuline, which diabetics need to get from external sources on a regular basis to survive. In 2019, in Germany (also a country with relatively high state interference) 13 765 people died from diabetes, which are 0,00012% of its population. In the US, around 100.000 people died from diabetes in 2021, the percentage is thus 0,00030%. Germany even has a slightly higher rate of diabetics (13% to 10,5% in the US). So, why do you think Libertarianism is superior to a Social Democracy for example, where the State interferes in Health Care and economics?

Look up the difference between positive an negative rights. If you believe that rights are physical things that someone is obligated to give you, then you believe in threat of violence to achieve those things.

Some markets were even more competitive, like markets that today are monopolised by 1 company because it is supposedely "a natural monopoly" actually used to be competitive before the government monopolized them. Six electric light companies were organized in the one year of 1887 in New York City. Forty-five electric light enterprises had the legal right to operate in Chicago in 1907. Prior to 1895, Duluth, Minnesota, was served by five electric lighting companies, and Scranton, Pennsylvania, had four in 1906. … During the latter part of the 19th century, competition was the usual situation in the gas industry in this country. Before 1884, six competing companies were operating in New York City … competition was common and especially persistent in the telephone industry … Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis, among the larger cities, had at least two telephone services in 1905. Prises for goods and services were contiunuosly FALLING, with the exception of wartime, were extra government spending and emission raised inflation during the times of war, still during 19th century twice, while experiencing sustained and significant economic growth, the American economy went through deflationary periods of 50 percent. Today, with central banks all around the world people cant even imagine the concept of continiously falling price levels. Working conditions were worse than today, but they were improving even prior to any government intervention. And this is the inevitable result of economic growth. As the production of capital goods becomes more and more effiecient, labor becomes more and more scarse relative to capital, increasing the price levels (EI wages). Other metheds of non-price competition also come into use, work shift shrink and labor standarts go up without any need for government involvement.

If the people want social safety nets and a clean, safe environment, it is our own responsibility to demand and provide these things. We choose fair trade products and products which are not abusive to the environment, if that’s what we value. If that’s what we choose more, that is what the market shall provide for us, as it is driven to meet our demands. If we want low income families to have more resources, then we create community based family resource centres. This is not done well, when left to governments that are made up of people with other objectives and motivations. These offered resources involve community members who consider their community’s well being, to be their purpose. This genuine human connection offers a far superior service than that provided by a cold, faceless, government bureaucracy.

But environmental laws nowadays are the most corrupt and easiest excuse for farmers to be expropiated because of a non-existing "nitrogencrisis", also everything is a crisis now... No nuclear energy but windmills on sea and land and solarfields, no natural gas but biomass, no diesel but electric drive.

The thing is. It's been tried. Republicans know it's too far right and results in transparent fascism and people revolt. It gives corporations to much power. Republicans effectively do the exact same thing, it's just less transparent. The end result is oligarchy via corporation, which in essence is the same thing as old imperialism.

What are libertarian views on abortion?

@SL2797 Год назад

It's a debatable area, but I would say most libertarians believe that abortion is killing an innocent baby, and thus a violation of the non-aggression principle.

@elijahbuchanan2368 Год назад

A mix. It's probably the most highly debated topic in libertarianism, with a seemingly even split between pro-life and pro-choice. This is mainly because there is no current consensus among libertarians on whether an unborn child has rights. The Libertarian Party, which is the largest organized group of libertarians in the US, has pro-choice as their official stance, as they consider it a person enough of a moral consideration that government ought not to be involved. Granted, the LP does not represent all libertarians, and there are to my knowledge many pro-life advocates in the LP. Long story short, you can still reasonably consider yourself a libertarian, regardless of your views on abortion.

@Angel_559_ 11 месяцев назад

@hunter_69_69 6 месяцев назад

All previous replies^ are accurate, IMO. I'll chime in with my 2 cents: Pro-choice is technically the more libertarian viewpoint. That is... if you define libertarianism as minimal government intervention. That being said, some people view libertarianism through the "non-aggression principle," that leads to some libertarians being pro-life. So, it sort of depends how you define libertarianism, IMO. Some libertarians draw a hard line on government intervention when harm is done to someone (hence, why "non-aggression" libertarians are pro-life). And other libertarians (more "fundamentalist" libertarians) believe that the government has no business drawing a hard line on any issue, so they tend to be pro-choice.

Market failure historically was always caused by speculators and greed. Government never intervened in this. Also historically, capitalism without regulation becomes fascism. Corporations get too much power. Like you said my rights end when the corporation begins. The very idea of protest goes against the ideals of libertarianism and free market. Libertarianism is a huge step backwards in American history. And other countries tried it as well long long ago. It resulted in enslavement, and a higher class ruling the lower class.

You also confused corporativism, I don't agree that a corporation should have limitless power. There hasn't being any system or government that practice libertarianism, the contrary history have been filled with regulations in the market. Libertarianism and free market is about competition. Market failure historically is cause by government intervention couple with speculation and greed as you said but not free market. The great depression was cause because the Federal Reserve fail to bail out the Bank of the United States as well as once again greed and speculators, there were regulations in place. With regards facism is basically government intervation with corporativism, there is not free market in that scenario.

Singapore currently runs very close to libertarianism, and has the freest market in the world. it also has some of the highest disparity. fascism doesnt mean the government has power. fascism by definiton is any interest group having control over the population without democratic forum. it can happen via corporate takeover, or government takeover.

I see value in Liberaterianism, but I also see major problems with it as well. The own choices... thing is very much important, but I also see how that follows eventual decay because behavior that is out of control counters true freedom, true individual responsibility and logically leads to needing a balance to mitigate anything counter to Liberaterianism's main objectives. Government is established by God Himself. When it functions right, it takes into its constitution, the will of the People. Since the will of the People is Liberaterian, policies form to reflects main objectives. Once someone's rights to do as they please - which is for such people, to live free without the government dictating their personal way of life, bleeds into someone else's freedom, conflict ensues. The people then must solve their own issues. The bigger of a bleeding into others' way of life, the bigger the problem until its a group against the one who interfered - bled - on their way of life. Who arbitrates that - the People? The same ones who wanted limited government? Because we are fallen and sinful, many of us will seek to emass power and influence. This automatically leads to those people controlling others. There has to be some legal fairness to creat balance for everyone to live as they best can within the framework of their legal rights and way of life - individual rights and autonomy. That's just creating a police force. Such unchecked freedom will lead into more issues where the government - the people will have to step in to maintain balance and order.
