Civil Libertarianism

Civil libertarianism is a form of liberalism who lives in the bottom-right quadrant of the political compass - he believes in the expansion and preservation of civil liberties. Distinct from right libertarianism because he is focused on fighting for a legal system centered around the harm principle, privacy and civil rights without any interest in economic liberalism. Sometimes he can be portrayed as a scholar with nerdy expertise of the law and philosophy.

Despite his name he often clashes with right libertarians by opposing private coercion as much as state authoritarianism. Ancap especially hates CivLib for fighting to end child marriage and working to establish an age of consent. Typically he gets along well with center-left and lib-left balls at least until his free speech absolutism and opposition to hate speech laws angers them.
