Paleolibertarianism
Paleolibertarianism ( English Paleolibertarianism ) is a form of Libertarismus . The theory of paleolibertarianism was founded in the United States by Lew Rockwell . An important center of this way of thinking is the Ludwig von Mises Institute . Paleolibertarianism is a mixture of libertarianism in politics and cultural conservatism in social issues.
Paleoliberarianism is generally characterized by:
- a political alliance of purpose with paleoconservatism , since both schools of thought see the Democratic Party as a common opponent
- Rejection of the interventionist foreign policy of the USA and the neoconservatism associated with it
- Striving for a free market
- Consideration of private property and self- property as the highest good of a free society
- Rejection of the welfare state as "organized theft"
- Commissioning social authorities such as family, church etc. to protect the individual from the state
Well-known representatives of paleolibertarianism are Ron Paul (candidate of the Libertarian Party in the presidential election 1988 , Republican candidate for the nomination for the presidential election 2008 , 2012 ), Rand Paul , Murray Rothbard , Lew Rockwell , Hans-Hermann Hoppe , Thomas DiLorenzo (* 1954) , Stephen D. Cox and Joseph Sobran (1946-2010). These are related to institutions such as the Ludwig von Mises Institute of Alabama and the Center for Libertarian Studies .
