Civil Libertarianism

From Polcompball Wiki

"The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant."

Civil Libertarianism is a civically libertarian and economically variable ideology. It is a form of Libertarianism who believes in the expansion and preservation of civil liberties. Distinct from right libertarianism because he is focused on fighting for a legal system centered around the harm principle, privacy and civil rights without any interest in economic liberalism. He is also not to be confused with Social Libertarianism, despite having similar policies.

Despite his name he often clashes with right libertarians by opposing private coercion as much as state authoritarianism. Typically he gets along well with center-left and lib-left ideologies at least until his free speech absolutism and opposition to hate speech laws angers them.

Variants

Civil Liberalism

Civil Liberalism is the more moderate version of civil libertarianism, sharing the same core beliefs while leaning more heavily into moderate liberal philosophy rather than full on libertarianism.

Dictablanda

A dictablanda is a state which preserves civil liberties such as women's right to an abortion, gay rights to marry, trans rights to change their gender, etc. etc., while forbidding the right to vote. It is often an illusion created to save dictatorial regimes by presenting them as soft and benevolent and guaranteeing some rights against surveillance and oppression.

History

Beliefs

Harm Principle

Civil Libertarianism's main ideological foundation is the harm principle, which is a philosophical belief that actions should only be limited to prevent harm to other people.

Secularism

Civil Libertarianism supports a strong demarcation between separation of church and secularism while eliminating discrimination based on religious beliefs.

Feminism

Civil Libertarianism is a feminist ideology that supports policies which achieve equality for both genders. These policies include things like abortion rights, anti-discrimination laws, and the right to vote & own property.

Drug Liberalization

Along with supporting the legalization of cannabis, Civil Libertarianism also supports the complete decriminalization or even legalization of all drugs in general, believing that zero tolerance policies have done more harm than good in addressing the issue of drug addiction.

Cultural Liberalism

Civil Libertarianism is a culturally liberal ideology that defends the rights of individuals to conform to social norms or not. This belief also overlaps with the harm principle, since civil libertarianism believes no specific moral code should be imposed onto society when one's lifestyle is not harming others.

Personality

Civil Libertarianism can be portrayed as a scholar with nerdy expertise of the law and philosophy.

Fellow Freedom Fans

Critical Support

  • Pink Capitalism - Socially liberal, economically liberal, but coloring sweatshop-made goods in rainbows won't free anyone.
  • Progressivism - A close match, not gonna lie. Needs to be more accepting of freedom of expression though.
  • Social Democracy - Too many of you hate free speech! Who gets to decide what constitutes "hate speech"?
  • Libertarian Socialism - Likes freedom too, but please don't violate property rights.
  • Libertarianism - But on that note, the harm principle trumps property rights.
  • Conservative Liberalism - You claim to care about civil liberties but the Irish deserve to have their rights respected too and the IRA doesn't change that!
  • Social Liberalism - Same as above, but FDR threw Japanese people in internment camps and Truman founded the CIA.
  • Neoliberalism - Open borders and free trade are good but your support of certain dictatorships, coups, and invasions not to mention your support for the unpatriotic act is horrible.
  • Anarcho-Egoism - You believe in freedom for the individual while believing things like bigotry and sexism are "spooks"? Great! We will get along just... wait for a second, you don't care about human rights?! And you think property rights are spooks too?
  • Anarcho-Individualism - An ever so slightly more moderate version of the guy above.
  • Utilitarian Ethnonationalism - My... racist son?
  • Anti-Fascism - Look, you're not awful in theory, but you need to calm down. Also, free speech for everyone is important, even for the people that we oppose. I still prefer your buddy here , to be honest.
  • National Liberalism & National Libertarianism - We generally agree on civil liberties, but you're both sometimes a bit wingnuty for a liberal/libertarian, not to mention you seem to hang around with alt-righters quite a bit. Though I do agree that Navalny is better than Putin and Calvin Coolidge was an okay president.
  • Progressive Conservatism, Liberal Conservatism & Homoconservatism - Pretty mixed bags, but still probably some of the better conservatives. Though I'm definitely not a fan of the latter guy's transphobic factions.
  • Civic Nationalism & Patriotism - Same as above but nationalists.
  • Korwinism - Death Penalty?... Praising Pinochet?... Monarchism?...
  • European Federalism - I like free trade, open borders, and the GDPR but your violations of sovereignty, corruption and seemingly building a surveillance state scare me.
  • Bull Moose Progressivism - Good for taking on him but I don't like your racism, tariffs or imperialism.
  • Panarchism & National Anarchism - Okay, this is just weird.
  • Powellism - Way too racist for me but you did have good views on nearly everything else (cut out that pro soviet talk though).
  • Burkean Conservatism - Easily the best tradcon, though that doesn't say much.

  • Revolutionary Progressivism - Tankie version of the above.
  • Conservatism - You're everything except "Small Government", and just because you hate authoritarian SJWs doesn't mean you are one of us.

  • Christian Theocracy - Haha Obergefell v. Hodges go brrr!
  • Integralism - Oh jeez, you really do hate my guts
