In fact, you could be right wing and be a liberal because you are a free market fanatic, but still are socially liberal. In my opinion the designation 'right wing liberal' would fit appropriately, in fact I call myself a 'right wing moderate liberal' as a label.
In America, liberal and conservative are sexually confused since the late 1960s when the Republicans adopted the South. Republicanism was at its core socially and economically liberal.

That much has never changed. The great depression shook everything up economic principals. FDR was really the beginning of the republican/democrat trade off. Kennedy was the last straw. Nixon was the Camels broken back.

A market isn't a free market if there are regulations. Capitalism is fine, if it is closely regulated and enforced. Problem today in the US is they have far more power than the average person and the government and the economy is now working for the benefit of the greedy. The greedy think they and they alone are responsible for their success and have no problems making sure that only they benefit from the economy.

It's free, just not 100% free. If you are able to circulate everywhere except to restricted areas, would you say you don't have freedom of circulation? I don't think so. It wouldn't be free if the government controlled private companies' decisions considerably.

When I was younger I had some pretty strong anarchist ideals - Good times. I quit them after I realized utopia wasn't my cup of tea, I'd rather pick something that is realistically possible, even if not as perfect as anarchy. Anarcho-capitalism was one of my favourite, one of the few capitalist systems no one could complain about IMO.

Almost bang in the middle of left Libertarian. I agreed with the eye for an eye, a little spanking, and the breaking of international law on occasion being justified.
