Its a specific form of Libertarianism which believes there is a need for the government but said need should be minimized to a handful of key areas.
@anornymorse Agreed, i find it silly. Libertarianism is basically any view that seeks to minimize governement. Beyond that there are as many flavors as you want really.
@anornymorse I'm not sure using the same definition as has been accepted for several decades now counts as "redefining it"
@anornymorse What does the fact that the definition is older than you matter? Or did you mean me, cause you have no idea how old I am.
@anornymorse Not sure how it is relevant that your 20, but i mean ok the definition i used is even older than you are then. But no, no one changed it.

This is all quite amusing. I feel like gary reliving the debate in some nonsensical parody of itself:
@anornymorse @orekix @a7 @freemo
>Wait. Are you trying to tell me that Gary Johnson was a libertarian?
This is the level of Freemo's understanding of libertarianism.
@anornymorse @orekix @a7 @freemo Freemo has read Rothbard and Freidman.... So he claims.
@freemo @orekix @a7 @anornymorse
So how do you fund this government of yours without violating people's rights? What is the point of libertarianism in your mind if it does not uphold people's rights?
@gunkslinger
Depends my system wouldnt really be purely any model. But most of the ways I'd resolve that is simply to make governments opt-in.You choose what government you want to be a part of (the details behind this are complex) or no nation at all. Therefore you choose which tax/reward scheme you want as a result.
But how such a system works would take a while to deep dive on.
@anornymorse
I never claimed it to be a minarchism or even any other form of libertarianism. So no.
@freemo @anornymorse @orekix @a7
>I never claimed it to be a minarchism or even any other form of libertarianism. So no.
LOL!
@gunkslinger
A minarchism, by definition, represents the state as being, you guessed it, minimal. Usually covering just the night-watch needs. I made no claim that state need be minimal. Thus minarchism does not apply here.
@freemo @orekix @a7 @anornymorse
So what you've just described is something called "anarcho-capitalism" or "voluntaryism". Have you heard of them?
@gunkslinger
Yes I mentioned it earlier in fact.
@freemo @orekix @a7 @anornymorse Dude, take a nap.
@gunkslinger
Well if your the one repeating things I already mentioned earlier sounds like your the one that needs the nap.
@freemo @orekix @a7 @anornymorse
>Well if your the one repeating things I already mentioned earlier sounds like your the one that needs the nap.
LOL! Give it up, man. You've painted yourself into a corner and trying to change the history of this discussion won't give you wings. You're just going to have to walk across your handiwork like the rest of us would.
@gunkslinger
Are you seriously trying to fabricate some bullshit like I didnt just talk about anarcho-capitalism 15 minutes before you asked? Lol thats some impressive delusion you have going there. Ok I'm out then. I learned from flat earthers long ago you cant change stupid.
