Okay. Can anyone explain these two things to me? Either one?


1. Libertarianism

2. Objectivism


I want to understand what they are about.

oh.. Libertarianism I know a little bit about.

They basically think people should be free to do whatever they wish, with few boundaries and almost no government intrusion. They think people should be free to succeed wildly, or fail miserably, and that it's just up to them which one they will do. Very "hands-off" in terms of government... and many of them would get rid of government altogether if they thought it would be possible.

That's pure libertarianism. Most libertarians are quasi-democratic, in that they feel that certain people in certain situations should receive some government assitance.

(see Libertarian.org for more details, if you're so inclined.)

'course, I'm a bleeding heart liberal democrat... so I don't subscribe to their beliefs, but they are interesting!...
