Quite the contrary. Visit a rural Chinese village and ask a few of them the time. I think you'll see what I mean Tongue

But if you learn Chinese! Then what? If you ask them the time, it is the same time for them and us, is it not?

Then ask them the time, and they'll tell you the bloody time. Then what are you on about? Tongue

That you had to learn the Chinese language (or they had to learn yours) to expect a reasonable answer for the query of 'what is the time?'?

Libertarianism is the view that government should have minimal control over people. Political, Civil, and Economic liberties are at an all time high in Libertarianism. Libertarian governments don't make any laws against who you can love and marry, what you can say or express, what you can eat, drink, smoke, etc. Likewise, they favour a free market approach to economics. No trade restrictions, no taxes on trade or on earnings. The only tax we favour is a flat rate (since progressive tax is unfair) one.

Ty, Adrian Smile

So how could that work with Authoritarianism? Or is Neo-Libertarianism/right/(what on earth was it again?) something entirely different than Libertarianism?
