Classical liberals (also known as right-libertarians or libertarian capitalists) want an unregulated free-market economy with minimal government intervention. Social liberals want the government to intervene in the economy to promote social justice and reduce economic inequality. Neoliberals want the government to intervene in the economy to promote capitalism and economic development.

Funny, I never considered that classical liberal would be the same as right-libertarians.

Do you have a name for left-libertarians?

Where would Milton Friedman fall in this political compass? I'd say he is a "left-libertarian", do you agree?

which political philosophy did they hijack?

also what does "right shill" mean?

until I started lurking on here and reading comments by Cowbee and other comrades

oh cool, which "sub-lemmy" was that?

Yeah I guess who you tax is indicative of the political stance, is that what you mean? Georgism is about taxing land, so it's kind of in the middle I guess, since everyone uses land, although it should affect the rich more, since the rich will usually own more land

Yep, I also believe in georgism, but I don't think that's a political stance, more of a "where should taxes come from"

there’s nothing normal about Libertarians

why do you think so?

 

I start: I'm mostly left-libertarian

I used to be a "normal" libertarian (aka right-libertarian) but I started to realize corporations are probably just as bad as the government, if not a mirror image.

because we never work

so this is what Merz was complaining about? 😂

we always were very private people

I lived in germany for a while and I loved this aspect from germans. It really bothers me when people are like "what do you need privacy for, what are you hiding" like the government always has the best intentions

You got banned from Reddit for making an upvote? No freaking way

[–] obamacares@lemmy.ml 1 points 18 hours ago

That is sooooo annoying! Like, ok ban my account. But ban ME for ever? Ridiculous. Sincerely hope Reddit dies

what do you mean with "low block limit"

 

Hello folks, this is my first post ever on this Fediverse thing I just found out about, and wanted to connect with any other georgists out there

This not so related to Georgism per se. I came to this forum because really tired of big tech/governments censuring us in every way they can, and the "generalized neurosis" affecting the people

For some reason I've always found that people who follow georgism are the most rational and ethical.
