Welcome libertarians, and those who pursue liberty:

We hold that Individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live the way -they- choose.

Governments throughout history have regularly operated on the opposite principle, that the State has the right to dispose of the lives of individuals and the fruits of their labor. Even within the U.S., all political parties, except the L.P., grant to government the right to regulate the lives of individuals and seize the fruits of their labor without their consent.

Libertarians, on the contrary, deny the right of any government to do these things, and hold that where governments exist, they must not violate the rights of any individual: namely,

  1. The Right to Life -- Accordingly we support the prohibition of the initiation of physical force against others.
  2. The Right to Liberty of Speech and Action -- Accordingly we oppose all attempts by government to abridge the freedom of speech and press, as well as government censorship in any form.
  3. The Right to Property -- Accordingly we oppose all government confiscation, nationalization, and eminent domain, and we support the prohibition of robbery, trespass, fraud, and misrepresentation.
