# Libertarianism

*Not to be confused with liberalism.*

Libertarianism, also known as the *redneck ideology*, is a harmful political ideology whose definition is quite broad and not very clear, but which in essence gives highest priority to individual "liberty" and seeks to minimize the role of state (but typically without wanting to remove it). A bit like anarchism, libertarianism has many branches which frequently greatly diverge and even oppose each other, some are called more "leftist", some more "rightist" -- libertarianism usually tries to pretend to be focusing on the people, i.e. their "liberties", pseudoequality ("equality before law", "equality of opportunity", ...), oppose "the kind of corporate capitalism we have today", believing some kind of "saner" version of it can work (which it can't), and claims that people can form a working, decentralized society by loose associations, however, unlike anarchism which opposes state and any kind of hierarchy altogether (with true anarchism also opposing any violence), libertarianism typically wants to preserve some functions of the state such as courts, sheriffs with colts and justice for protection against crime, and it acknowledges property as a sacred thing that may even be defended by violence, i.e. libertarianism just replaces the rule of states by rule of private subjects and cowboys, getting quite close to "anarcho" capitalism, the stupidest idea yet conceived. Libertarians have about 3 IQ. It's basically the pig farmer's opinion on politics. Simply put, they adopt the **"law of the jungle"** or **"wild west"** mindset. So it's shit, do not subscribe.

The color associated with libertarianism is yellow, which symbolizes piss.

USA is essentially just a land where libertarians battle with liberals. Both camps are similarly stupid.
