With the #RedditMigration in full swing, we figured it's fine for an #introductiom of our own. #Libertarians believe in limited government, invidial liberty and personal responsibility. While constitutionalist, progressives, liberals, socialists, and conservative could mean very different things in different parts of the world, libertarianism is universal. Whether a libertarian be Canadian, Costa Rican, Russian or Kenyan, he believes the same. Please take the World's Smallest Political Quiz. If you for anywhere in the Libertarian quadrent, please join our community so we can achieve #liberty in our lifetime.

I'm for balance and pragmatism. Sometimes government is required, sometimes the free market is required. Sometimes efficiency is not the end goal. Generally government should stay out of people's personal lives. I do believe in a strong safety net and a generally free market. But there should always be room for exceptions.

I also believe that 99% of the hot button issues are being pushed by the higher ups merely to get people arguing about issues they normally wouldn't care about while corruption, poorly implemented systems, and failures get swept under the rug.

well, I'm radical as fuck, but if you fit anywhere in the top quadrant, we want you here there are plenty of libertarians who consider themselves "fiscally conservative and socially liberal" and lots of those consider themselves moderates.
