Libertarianism

What is libertarianism?

Libertarians want a win-win world of peace and plenty. And we believe that the only way to get it is through self-government... not others-government.

Self-government is the combination of personal responsibility and tolerance. Responsibility means you govern yourself. Tolerance means you don't force your values on peaceful, honest people.

Today, however, others-government is giving us insecurity, conflict and poverty. Let's revitalize our heritage of self-government to create a win-win world where everyone comes out ahead.
