Libertarianism

Right-Libertarianism, or more simply Libertarianism, is a Libertarian, Laissez-Faire Capitalist and culturally variable ideology (But usually more left-leaning) 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 (negative) rights of life, liberty, and property. He likes the use of militias to watch them

They technically believe in the same principles of Classical Liberalism of equality before the law and the basic rights to life, liberty, and property, along with most lib-rights, although some people debate most Libertarians are only Libertarians because of the precise ideology and not the principles of it.

Libertarianism, Minarchism, and Anarcho-capitalism see taxation as a form of theft since they think that the government transgresses property rights by enforcing compulsory tax collection and they see it as a violation of the NAP but they three disagree on how much this has to be taken into consideration and reduced.

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 terms "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. ''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.

And although the term Libertarianism was already created at the time it acquired current meaning that we use at the moment from Liberalism before the 30s which was what we now consider Classical Liberalism and Libertarianism but during the campaign of Franklin D. Roosevelt the term started to be associated with the Democrat Party of the US, this being why the term in the US means something different than in most of the world where it's mostly associated to Classical Liberalism, and Liberalism to differentiate from them they decided to change the term Liberalism to Classical Liberalism/Libertarianism (Which at the time meant the same), but with the time and the development and radicalization of the Libertarian thought the term Libertarianism took the meaning of a more Anti-State version of Classical Liberalism.

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
Libertarianism's design is based on the Gadsden Flag. For more detail add "DONT TREAD ON ME" or the simpler "NO STEP" under the rattlesnake.
 * 1) Draw a ball.
 * 2) Draw eyes on the ball.
 * 3) Fill the ball around the eyes with yellow.
 * 4) Draw a coiled rattlesnake.
 * 5) (Optional) Draw grass under the rattlesnake.
