Libertarianism

Libertarian Capitalism, or more simply Right-Libertarianism or Libertarianism, 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.

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 mostly true.

There are two origins of the term.

The term "Libertarian" was originally coined in the Enlightenment  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. As such, to say that "Libertarianism" is a strictly leftist term is not intellectually honest.

Although, it is true that the term "Libertarian" came in a wider use within left-wing circles in the 1890s as a euphemism for  Anarchism, and different variations as  Libertarian Socialism,  Anarcho-Communism, and  Anarcho-Syndicalism solid decades (Almost half a century) before the term was popularised within right-wing circles.

Although the term Libertarianism was present at the time, it acquired its current meaning that we use at the split from Liberalism before the 30s. Put simply, what was originally Liberalism split into what we now know as Classical Liberalism and Libertarianism. Although, during the campaign of Franklin D. Roosevelt the term started to be associated with the Democratism of the  United States. This, in turn, created two definitions of the term Liberalism, the American definition, by which Liberalism was associated to the Democratic Party and the definition in the rest of the world Liberalism kept its meaning being about the same thing as modern day  Libertarianism, but later, with the radicalization of the Classical Liberal circles, Libertarianism some of them prefered to stop being called Classical Liberals to adopt the term "Libertarian" completely and Classical Liberalism started to be associated to Classical Economics only while Libertarianism became closer to the Austrian School of Economics. The western definition is also closely tied to Anarcho-Capitalism, as they share similar beliefs.

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.

How to Draw

 * 3) Fill the ball around the eyes with yellow.
 * 4) Draw a coiled timber rattlesnake.
 * 5) (Optional) Draw grass under the rattlesnake.

For more detail add "DONT TREAD ON ME" or the simpler "NO STEP" under the rattlesnake.
