Anarchism

[Mister Agenda]

I'm a libertarian (okay, 'liberaltarian'). I'm not rich, I'm not against government. The difference between libertarianism and anarchism is that libertarians think we have too much government and anarchists think any government is too much government. Anarchists tend to hang out with us because they think we're going in the right direction though we're short-sighted fools who don't realize the solution is to get rid of government altogether. Libertarians range from 'minarchists' who desire the minimum government consistent with protecting our rights and freedoms to Constitutionalists who think government should be limited to a role consistent with a very literal reading of our Constitution to classic liberals like myself who think our debt and spending are out of hand and that maybe we should hold the budget where it is for awhile and insist new spending come from cuts in other areas.

Most libertarians agree on the government being neutral regarding social issues (which means not forbidding us from marrying the consenting adult of our choice, for one thing) , but here I was just focusing on the differences between anarchists and libertarians (and other libertarians).
