Libertarians =/= Nazis

[CapnAwesome]

I find the idea that Libertarian's have the economic views of the right, and social views of the left to be very inaccurate. I know a lot of people, including the libertarian party, often claim this but it's a vast oversimplification. Libertarian economic views are different than those of the mainstream right in the United States, and the libertarian social views are far different than those in the mainstream left.

Take abortion, most libertarians and liberals agree that abortion should be legal, but libertarians would simply have no laws on abortion, while liberals would fund organizations like Planned Parenthood, and other such things. It's oversimplification. I don't know that many people actually think libertarians are nazis though. I always assume that's just trolling.

I don't say 'socially liberal, fiscally conservative' any more. I can't do it with a straight face. I'm flirting with 'socially tolerant, fiscally responsible'.

While I don't really like many Libertarian views, even looking at the overview of this book on Ron Paul on amazon, I don't see how they are remotely Nazi's. For one thing, Nazi's wre for big government, Libertarians are most certainly not. There really are few if any parallels.

Most political parties are compared to Nazis. In fact, I would say all them were, if I had a way of proving it that did not involve too much effort on my part. They are always called such by people who disagree with them. Calling someone or a political party a Nazi or like Nazis is no longer a way of saying, "You hold similar beliefs to Adolf Hitler." It is a way of saying, "I strongly disagree with you and would like to discredit you by drawing parallels with a mass murderer." It's used incorrectly far too often.

Politics, there is a reason why I don't like it. The only politics that work is dictatorship and endoctrination, being I the supreme ruler of them all
