21. libertarianism is not liberalism

Real liberalism is not a dogma, it is a method. It is the belief in using reason to better yourself and your fellow man.

Libertarianism is a belief in using reason to better yourself alone. Everyone is their own island. It is more common in the US, because the US has been the land of plenty and it seems feasible. Unfortunately, people tend to kid themselves about reality when it comes between them and what they want.

That's what we've got here.
