Editing Neo-Libertarianism (section)

==History==
===Early Usage===
While the term was introduced later, many neo-libertarians such as [[File:Goldwaterian.png]] Barry Goldwater and, to an extent, [[File:Reagan.png]] Ronald Reagan and [[File:Thatcher.png]] Margaret Thatcher were quite popular during the 1980s. Reagan was the 40th president of the United States from 1981-1989, while Margaret Thatcher was the Prime Minister of the UK.
  
The first neo-libertarians used the term in response to the Iraq War. Distancing themselves from the generally anti-war response of the mainstream [[File:Libertarian.png]] [[Libertarianism|libertarian]] movement, neo-libertarians proudly set out their reasons for supporting the War on Terror and an effort to secure the freedom of the Iraqi people.

Nowadays, there are many popular neo-libertarian commentators such as [[File:Shapirocube.png]] Ben Shapiro and [[File:Kirk-TPUSA.png]] Charlie Kirk (formerly), with each having their own respective Youtube channels.

While most libertarians tend to adopt isolationist positions on issues and matters of war, neoberts range anywhere from ambivalent to strongly pro-interventionist: The [[File:Hussein.png]] Iraq War, and to a lesser extent, the U.S. Invasion of [[File:Cball-Taliban.png]] Afghanistan represent ongoing disputes between these factions.

Another key difference is in regards to domestic policy, where neoberts are strong advocates of incrementalism, i.e. making many small changes over time. By contrast, mainstream libertarians tend to advocate for drastic, almost-immediate policy changes.

Despite getting along better with [[File:Necon.png]] [[Neoconservatism]], they have arguments with them as well. Where neoconservatives strongly support the building of capitalist states after defeating/overthrowing non-capitalists by force, neo-libertarians are more concerned with letting [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]] operate after any military victory. If capitalism is allowed to operate, they argue, the former subjects of militarily defeated governments will naturally arrange governments (whatever the form) that are, if only out of political expediency, more friendly to their subjects' newfound economic freedoms, and therefore, much less likely to jeopardize the benefits, which neoberts believe capitalism offers.

Barry Goldwater was the [[File:RepubUS.png]] [[Conservatism|Republican]] senator of Arizona from 1953-1965 and 1969-1987. At the time he was considered to be on the "fringe right-wing" of the party for his opposition to the legacy of the [[File:FDRismF.png]] [[Social Liberalism|New Deal]] and support of [[File:Libertarian.png]] laissez-faire economics, At the same time, he often said that he would drop nuclear weapons in the Kremlin. as this had alienated the more moderate and liberal wings of his party. Despite being a member of the NAACP and a supporter of desegregation, Goldwater had reluctantly voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because he believed it partially violated the rights of businesses. He was selected as the [[File:RepubUS.png]] [[Conservatism|GOP]]'s presidential candidate in 1964, where he lost by a landslide against the [[File:Demcr.png]] Democratic President [[File:Lyndon_B._Johnson.png]] [[Social Authoritarianism|Lyndon B. Johnson]], after being successfully portrayed as a [[File:Farright.png]] [[Right-Wing Populism|far-right]] extremist by LBJ's campaign. Although losing, his campaign is credited for pushing the GOP to the right and helping inspire the rise of [[File:Reagan.png]] [[Neoconservatism|Ronald Reagan]]. Despite his staunchly conservative views, he advocated for desegregation in the US military. Goldwater's views on social and cultural issues grew increasingly more libertarian over time nearing the end of his career (he believed that they were an integral part of true conservatism) as by the mid-1980s , he had spoken out in support of [[File:Gay.png]] gays being able to serve in the military, [[File:Glibr.png]] [[Green Libertarianism|environmental protection]], abortion rights and the legalization of medical marijuana.

'''Shapiroism''' is a culturally and economically right-wing and economically libertarian ideology based on the philosophy of [[w:Ben_Shapiro|Ben Shapiro]], a famous American conservative political commentator and activist. It's core principles lie in constitutionalism, American exceptionalism, interventionism, cultural conservatism, and memes.

Shapiroism follows the [[File: Chilib.png]] Chicago school of economics, notably influenced by the works of [[w:Thomas_Sowell|Thomas Sowell]] and [[w:Milton_Friedman|Milton Friedman]]. As such, it is opposed to the majority of economic regulations, additional taxes and the rates of many taxes, advocating significant cuts to both said tax rates and government spending. It also describes itself as "supply-side economics", being more concerned with the ability of producers to sell and create their products than the ability of consumers to buy, stating that efforts by the state to manufacture demand only lengthens recessions and slows economic growth.

Politically, Shapiroism draws most of its ideas from the [[w:Constitution_of_the_United_States|American constitution]], such as federalism and limited government, focusing largely on the first, second and tenth amendments in the Bill of Rights: the right to free speech, religion and assembly, uncontrolled by the state; the right to bear arms (the opposition to government regulation on the manufacture, provision and ownership of firearms); and devolved political power, where the federal government has very few, enumerated powers and the state and local governments have far more specific powers over the region.

Shapiroism views the government only as a necessary evil, and that it's role should be only to defend the life and property of its people, hence the need for checks and balances on its power. It also believes in devolved power due the benefit of political homogeneity, as there will be less conflict among the inhabitants of a given region over changes in law if the vast majority of people who live there are politically similar, an outcome more likely when decisions are made on a smaller scale. However, despite being economically libertarian, he has been criticised as too civically authoritarian for supporting things like a powerful police force and bans on abortion and most drugs (excluding marijuana, although he formerly wanted to ban it too).

===[[File:Reagan.png]] Reaganism===
'''Reaganism''' is a culturally and economically right-wing and libertarian ideology based off the beliefs of the 40th Presidents of the [[FIle:Cball-US.png]] United States,[[File:Reagan.png]] [[Neoconservatism|Ronald Reagan]]. Often called classical Republicanism, it believes in [[File:AustrianSchool.png]] [[Austrian School|laissez-faire free markets]], [[File:Econlib.png]] [[Capitalism|economical liberalism]], and [[File:Fiscon.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism|lower taxes]], adopting an economic policy called [[File:Reagnomics.png]] [[Chicago School|Reaganomics]].

While not strictly a libertarian, Reagan increased individualism and advocated for a smaller federal government, while also rolling back [[File:Welf.png]] [[Welfarism|public spending and taxes]]. Reagan was a strong advocated for a [[File:NeoconHelm.png]] hawkish foreign policy, calling the [[Marxism-Leninism|Soviet Union]] 'an [[File:100mildead.png]] evil empire' and drastically increasing military spending and funding to groups opposed to the USSR. However, his classification as a "Neolibertarian" is sometimes contested, as he did have some authoritarian tendencies.

===[[File:Neobert.png]] Phoenix Foundation===
Phoenix Foundation is a libertarian foundation, that has several attempts (sometimes ever violent) to create independent to create Libertarian states in Bahamas and Pacific Ocean. In 1972 the Foundation began to construct a platform in the South Pacific. Part of a reef, normally a metre below sea level at high tide, was piled high with sand and a small stone platform was erected carrying the flag of the Republic of Minerva—a golden torch on a blue background. Claims of Tonga was recogonized by South Pacific Forum in September 1972. A Tongan expedition was sent to enforce the claim, arriving on 18 June 1972. The Flag of Tonga was raised on 19 June 1972 on North Minerva and on South Minerva on 21 June 1972.

'''Kelthuzism''' is an ideology based of believes of Tomasz Paweł Czapla, better known as Kelthuz, in past bearing a title of 'Bard of Freedom'. His music makes most of the list of songs for [[File:Korwinism-Pikselart.png]] [[Korwinism]] ideology, but not only, as his other pieces of music touched on topics of [[File:Ancapf.png]] [[Anarcho-Capitalism|AnCap]], [[File:Hoppef.png]] [[Hoppeanism]], [[File:Pinochet-hat.png]] [[Pinochetism]], [[File:Austrobert.png]] [[Austrian School|ASE]], [[File:Obj.png]] [[Objectivism]] and even [[FIle:Schopenhauer.png]] {{PHB|Schopenhauerism|Schopenhauerism}}, as he was also well known from his [[File:Zio.png]] [[Zionism|zionist]] tendencies.
