For the purpose of this thread, the definition of libertarianism will go as follows:
What kind of libertarian are you? I am not a libertarian myself, and there are not many libertarians residing in PoFo (my home forum), so I decided to make a survey here. You must choose 3 options, 1 from each category according to you views. Anyway, here are the options:
CATEGORY 1:
Deontological - believe that coercion is unethical regardless of consequences (Argumentation Ethics)
Consequentialist - believe that the consequences of liberty are always better than the results of coercion*
CATEGORY 2:
Pro-Proprietarian - it is legitimate for one to claim private ownership of any resource to the detriment of others
Anti-Proprietarian - it is not legitimate for one to claim private ownership of any resource to the detriment of others
CATEGORY 3:
Statist - in a libertarian society, the state should still exist because it is necessary
Anarchist - in a libertarian society, the state should not exist because it is harmful
Pick one option from each category on the poll, best describing your views. Note that this test includes many of the non-proprietarian left-wing anarchists. In fact, the first person to call himself a libertarian was an anarcho-communist.
Remember, this poll is for LIBERTARIANS ONLY. You MUST choose only one option for each category, and you MUST choose 3 options.
*If you are deontological and consequentialist, pick deontological.
This is the second poll that I posted. The first one lacked a multiple choice button. This one doesn't.
Libertarianism - an ideology that holds liberty to be its core tenet
