Not to be confused with Liberalism.

Libertarianism, or more precisely Right-Libertarianism or Libertarian Capitalism, is a civically libertarian, laissez-faire capitalist and culturally variable ideology. He inhabits the libertarian right quadrant of the political compass, generally being in the middle of it unless specified.

He believes in a very limited government and the individual's natural self evident rights of life, liberty, and property. He likes the use of militias to watch them.

He technically believes in the same principles of classical liberalism of equality before the law and the basic rights to life, liberty, and property, along with most librights, although some people debate most libertarians are only libertarians because of the precise ideology and not the principles of it.

History

Naming Controversy

A narrative often held up by Left-wing Libertarians is that the term "Libertarian" was originally a socialist term, which was later appropriated by the right. This conception is a half truth.

There are two origins of the term.

The term "Libertarian" was originally coined in the Enlightenment Thought File:Enlightnenment.png to describe supporters of free will (as opposed to determinism) and with it generally free action. With the first recorded usage of the term being in 1789 in reference to metaphysics. While the first political usage belongs to the libertarian communist, Joseph Déjacque, who used the French word libertaire in a letter to Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. Déjacque also started employing the term Anarchism at a similar time to Proudhon, but conceded it to him, calling Proudhon a " center-right anarchist, liberal and not libertarian (...) you want free trade for cotton and the candle...", in favor of identifying as a "Libertarian" only.

Déjacque, from 1858 to 1861, ran a paper titled “The Libertarian”, but it wasn’t very successful, and only lasted around 3 years. After that, from 1861 to 1884, the term was rarely used, before being revived by Benjamin Tucker to refer to individualist anarchists, alongside of course the term “anarchism”. The term thus gained more popularity, during these times, in the United States than in Europe.
The term “libertarian communism” was also used at some French regional conferences in the 1880s but it was popularized by Benjamin Tucker before it was reclaimed by anarcho-communists.

After this resurgence of the term Libertarian brought about by Tucker, the term once again started to be popularly used as an euphemism for Anarcho-Communism and other radical left-wing ideologies, half a century before it became widely used within right-wing circles.

The term "Libertarianism" only acquired its present meaning at the split from liberalism before the 30s. Put simply, what was originally Liberalism split into what we now know as Classical Liberalism and social liberalism.
The term Liberalism had been associated with the Democratic party ever since Grover Cleveland became president. However, during the campaign of Franklin D. Roosevelt the term started to be associated with the social liberalism. This, in turn, created two definitions of the term liberalism, the American definition, by which Liberalism was associated to the modern Democratic Party, and the definition in many other parts of the world, where Liberalism kept its meaning being about the same thing as modern day libertarianism.
Later, with the radicalization of the classical liberal circles in the later 20th century, and taking inspiration from some already radical classical liberal thinkers of the 19th century, some of them prefered to stop being called classical liberals and adopted the term "Libertarian" completely. Classical liberalism thus started to be associated to Chicago economics and the free-market wing of Neoclassical economics, while Libertarianism became closer to the Austrian School of Economics.
The western definition is also closely tied to anarcho-capitalism as the radical wing that sought to split itself from more moderate classical liberals was predominantly made up of Rothbardians.

Proto-Libertarianism

While Libertarian ideals could be considered to be rooted in history since antiquity (with examples being the 6th century B.C. Chinese Philosophers Lao-Tzu and Chuang-tzu), the modern incarnation of them can be traced to the radicalisation of Classical Liberal principles that occurred through the later half of the 19th century and through the 20th.

The most influential of these 19th century movements is generally considered to be French Liberal School, of Frederic Bastiat and Gustave de Molinari fame. With the former being known for positing that law becomes unjust and corrupted when it punishes the right of self-defence of one individual in favour of other individuals' plunder and the latter for being originator of ideas that were essentially Voluntaryist.

US Libertarian Party

Libertarian Party is an American political party founded in 1971, which promotes libertarian and Classical Liberal ideals, being a main contrast to the conservatism of the Republican Party and the progressivism of the Democratic Party.

Founded in 1971 by a group of individuals led by David Nolan, they were motivated by controversies in the Nixon administration and economic disagreements such as price controls and the end of the gold standard. In 1972 the press announced the party at headquarters in Westminster, Colorado. The same year saw the first Libertarian National Convention in Denver, Colorado, at which John Hospers and Tonie Nathan were nominated for President and Vice President. With that, Nathan becomes the first woman to receive an electoral vote in the USA. With the election, the party grew to more than 80 members and gained access to the ballot boxes of two states, a presidential ticket of 3000 to 4000 votes an Electoral College vote of Roger MacBride.

In 1974, the party made the Dallas Accord, an agreement that had a commitment with the minarchist and anarcho-capitalist factions, making a platform that would not make explicit the desirability of the existence of the state. After the agreement, the party stopped being explicitly minarchist with phrases like "Since government has only one legitimate function, the protection of individual rights...." And adopted a more "Big Tent" posture to welcome more diverse groups interested in reducing the power of the state.

In 1976, Roger MacBride ran for president on the Libertarian Party with David Bergland as his vice-president. During the campaign, he advocated non-interventionism, free market economics, abolition of the FCC and the Federal Reserve, a return to the gold standard, an end to victimless crime, and other party-related ideals. Although he only received 0.22% of the popular vote, the Libertarian Party ended up consolidating itself as the main alternative political party. In 1978, Dick Randolph becomes the first party person to win statewide office as a member of the Alaska House of Representatives.

By 1980, the party gained access to the ballot box in every state plus Guam and Washington, D.C., being the first party to achieve this since the Socialist Party of America. In the elections, Ed Clark was the presidential candidate and David Koch as vice, with the ticket getting 1.06% of the votes. During the campaign they advocated equal rights for LGBT men and women, repeal of all labor laws (especially the Wagner Act), an end to social security, an end to the War on Drugs, amnesty for illegal non-citizens and a free economy. Marketplace. In 1984, David Bergland as presidential candidates and Jim Lewis as vice, with the ticket having 0.25% of the votes.

In 1988, Ron Paul was chosen as candidate and Andre Marrou as vice, whose ticket acquired 0.47% of the votes. In the election, Ron Paul advocates non-interventionism, opposition to the drug wars, an end to government involvement in education, and Ronald Reagan's "bailout" of the Soviet Union. In 1992, Andre Marrou was chosen and Nancy Lord as deputy, and there was reluctance within the party, so much so that he made most of his campaign team resign. Many former employees called for his removal, as well as failing to pay child support and a Massachusetts arrest warrant for contempt. In the elections, he with 0.28% of the votes.

After the 1992 elections, the 1996 elections and the 2000 elections the party had a drop in support compared to other parties such as the Green Party and the Reform Party, although in the 1996 election it had 0.50% of the vote and 0.36% in the elections. 2000. In both elections, Harry Browne was the chosen candidate, and in the 1996 election the runner-up was Jo Jorgensen and in 2000 it was Arthur Olivier.

In 2004, there was a dispute within the party for who would be the candidate for election, with the top 3 being: Gary Nolan, Michael Badnarik and Aaron Russo. Michael Badnarik, even if he wasn't the favorite, surprisingly he was chosen and Richard Campagna as vice, with 0.32% of the votes. In 2008, Bob Barr was the nominee and Wayne Allyn Root as the runner-up, although there have been previous discussions about the candidacy of Ron Paul and Mike Gravel. They had 0.40% of the vote, he advocated the abolition or reform of the income tax, opposition to American wars (such as Iraq) and the Patriot Act.

Between 2009 and 2012, after the economic crisis known as the Great Recession, Libertarians gained popularity especially with the Tea Party Movement protests. The Tea Party protests supported several economic issues similar to the party's, although Republicans also benefited. During the 2012 elections, the presidential candidate was Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico, bearing James Polin Gray. This was one of the party's best performing elections, with 0.99% of the vote with more than 1 million votes. During the campaign, he opposed American interventionism in MENA, economic liberalization, ending the war on drugs, protecting civil liberties, and countless others. In 2016, Gary Johnson was nominated again, with former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld. This election had a better electoral result than the previous one, having 3.28% of the votes and more than 4 million votes. His campaign was showing itself as a third option and anti-Trump, in addition to the libertarian ideals already had before.

In 2020, the candidate was Jo Jorgensen and her vice furry Spike Cohen, in which they obtained 1.18% of the votes and 1.8 million votes. She opposed restrictions during the covid-19 pandemic, supported non-interventionism and external neutrality, opposed social security, was in favor of immigration and others.
