Paleolibertarianism (shortened to Paleobert and Paleolib) also called Old Right Libertarianism is a type of Libertarian sub-ideology which stresses inherent incompatibility between cultural egalitarianism/ progressivism, and inclusionism, and the concept of liberty, as well as a focus on the importance of inherited culture as a means of maintaining order.[2]
Paleolibertarianism is distinguished by a particular opposition to all types of state interventionism, especially Foreign and Economic. Paleolibertarianism as an ideology is one which embodies a culturally and economically right-wing and a civically libertarian position.
History
10 principles
- Total state as insitutional source of evil through whole history.
- Unlimited free market as moral and practical ideal.
- Private property as moral and economical necessity for society.
- State dominated by millitary-industrial complex is the biggest threat for society's liberty and prosperity.
- Welfare state as organized theft, which destroys producers, and then, it's consumers.
- Civil liberties based on property rights as basic necessity for just society.
- Egalitarian ethics as morally disgusting and devastating for private property and social authority
- Social authority in family, church, local communities, is necessary for protection of the citizen from the state and necessary for maintaining free and valuable society.
- Western culture as something utterly worthy protection.
- Objective morals - mostly that in abrahamic religions are necessary to maintaining civilized social order.
Proto-Paleolibertarianism
The early origins of Paleolibertarianism can be found within the thought of certain conservative tendencies within anti-statist movements and vice-versa.
The first type of Proto-Paleolibertarianism may be found in the likes of Edmund Burke,[3] and, by extension, the Old Whig movement.
The second may be found in the ideas of the oppositors to the french revolution found in the French Liberal School, found in writers such as Frederic Bastiat and Proto-Anarcho-Capitalist thinkers such as Gustave De Molinari, as well as the English Classical Liberal thinker, Herbert Spencer, acquired, especially on his later works, after which he was sometimes regarded as a " Conservative Anarchist."[4]
Another, perhaps more obscure, example of a Proto-Paleolibertarian thinker may be found in the reactionary jurist, Karl Ludwig Von Haller, whom the anarcho-capitalist economist Hans-Hermann Hoppe has written an article about regarding the "radical libertarian" tendencies within his thought.[5]
The Old Right movement
The formal origin of Paleolibertarianism, with its modern meaning, is to be found in the Old Right movement and its alliance with the modern American libertarian movement (or vice versa), with its biggest advocator being the Anarcho-Capitalist writer, Murray Rothbard.
The Old Right was a group of Conservative activists, thinkers, and politicians, who opposed foreign intervention (most notably, the Vietnam war), as well as Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal and Economic Regulationism in the broad sense (besides Protectionism).
They were more commonly known as the Paleoconservative movement, which later, as a consequence of Libertarians associating with some Paleoconservatives, the term Paleolibertarianism was coined. The advocators of Paleolibertarianism include Lew Rockwell, Murray Rothbard and Henry Louis Mencken.[2][6] Lew Rockwell, among other Libertarians, dropped the usage of this label because it had come to be associated with a form of "conservative libertarianism" which, he argues, wasn't the point of it, he instead defines Paleolibertarianism as "libertarianism before the movement emerged to institutionalize it as an ideological wing of the state's political apparatus."[7] Although he criticizes defining "Paleolibertarianism" as some sort of socially right-wing form of Libertarianism, he states that defining Libertarianism as socially leftist is problematic as well.
The "Paleo Alliance"
W.I.P.
Christian Libertarianism
Christian Libertarianism is a branch of Paleolibertarianism with a greater emphasis on its religious aspects. Christian libertarianism combines Christianity and its teachings with libertarian political philosophy. It believes in the non-aggression principle and thinks that Christian values, beliefs, or morals should not be forced onto people violently, but rather be strongly encouraged through social institutions.
In Catholicism
Catholic libertarians generally draw upon the philosophy of Saint Thomas Aquinas, notable for synthesizing Aristotlean thought with Catholic theology. With the natural law (the concept of there being a law ordained through 'God, Nature or Reason', instead of the state) being a common theme.[2] Aquinas also influenced secular libertarianism.[8]
The historian, politician, and writer John-Alberg Acton, better known as just 'Lord Acton' whose work greatly influenced classical liberalism and with it libertarianism was a Roman Catholic.
In Anglicanism
John Locke considered to be the father of liberalism in its classical form (the ideology upon which libertarianism draws upon) was an Anglican.[9][10]
Albert Jay Nock, one of the major figures of the Old Right movement and the first person to use 'libertarian' in a right-wing context was a member of the Episcopal church.[11]
Libertarian Christianity
Libertarian Christianity is a type of Christian theology derived primarily from Calvinism. Not all Christian libertarians are Libertarian Christians, and sometimes there might be strong theological disagreements between Libertarian Christians and other Christian libertarians.
Kremlintarianism
Kremlintarianism is a pejorative term for libertarians who sympathize with Russia, popularized by Liberpedia. Even though it's a derogatory term, something really close could be the blog ZeroHedge and its blogger Daniel Ivandjiiski, who considers himself austrolibertarian, but adopts (considerably) "Russophilia". The main targets of the term are:
- Walter Block: Walter Block was accused by Liberpedia of being a Kremlintarian for his pro-Russia, anti-Nato, anti-Ukraine and pro-Putin speeches, so much so that he stated that "If there were any justice in the world, Russia would never have entered the [sic] Ukraine. Instead, they would have declared war on all the member nations of NATO, all of them without exception. Thank God that there is no justice in this world. We should thank our lucky stars that Putin is a mensch..."
- Ryan Dawson: Ryan Dawson is a self-proclaimed libertarian and "pro-human rights" activist, despite having denied the Holocaust (even mocking) and having a certain relationship with the neo-Nazism (even making the gesture) and with Alt-Right. He is anti-born, anti-Zionist and conspiracyist, in addition to saying that the West exaggerates the crisis in Ukraine by threatening US hegemony, taking a pro-Russian line.[12]
- Justin Raimondo: W.I.P
- Eric S. Margolis: W.I.P
Personality and Behaviour
- A combined personality of both ConBert and PaleoCon: likes his guns and property, but also rants about the homosex and globalists.
- Will generally avoid any situations of sexual promiscuity and substance abuse by progressivists.

And by this I mean, of course, not “white collar criminals” or “inside traders” but violent street criminals-robbers, muggers, rapists, murderers. Cops must be unleashed, and allowed to administer instant punishment, subject of course to liability when they are in error"."5.Take Back the Streets: Get Rid of the Bums. Again: unleash the cops to clear the streets of bums and vagrants. Where will they go? Who cares? Hopefully, they will disappear, that is, move from the ranks of the petted and cosseted bum class to the ranks of the productive members of society".
