Hi, I've been browsing this subreddit a bit and honestly I really agree with a lot of the takes posted here, and I feel that Social libertarianism aligns with my views more than a lot of the other ideologies out there but I wanted to ask a clarifying question:

How much of the social and how much of the libertarian are you willing to sacrifice in order to achieve social libertarianism? Policies etc. I know there's probably differing views on this but I wanted to get a general idea

How do yall feel about it? Ludwig Erhard is based in my opinion and the whole CDU in Germany. I feel like the believe in the same basic principles as social libertarians.

Hey! I updated the Social Libertarian PCB wiki page due to it being bare bones. I used all the information I could gather from reading all the books, web blogs & reddit posts about the ideology and wrote it down on a notepad to compile it into one fleshed out theory.

I made sure to be careful not to be too leaniant to each side; Yang's & Georges books are more on the right-leaning side of the spectrum of socbert theory whilst the web blogs such as "Progressive Libertarianism" is more on the left-leaning side so i made sure to only include main core values of our theory in the Beliefs box. Any variants for the ideology such as the aforementioned left-right leans are in the Variants section.

If i got anything wrong please tell me, I am trying my best to compile everything we know, advocate for and have into one place so its not floating around:

https://polcompball.wiki/wiki/Social_Libertarianism

What are the different variants of social libertarianism?
On the polcompball wiki theres: Yangism, Libertarian Social Democracy, Libertarian Paternalism (for some reason) and Liberaltarianism.

However on the subreddit its classified as Right leaning, Centrist and Left leaning.

What do you guys think? What are the actual variants of the ideology?

Totally new to this ideology, I like it, feels like home, but the name is a little long, and doesn't have a distinct feel to it. When I first found this I thought it was Libertarian Socialism, which I don't agree with. Is there a shorter name, or should we try and make one. I know this is a little low on priorities, but just curious.

Hi! I belive it would be way easier for me to talk to you about what I want to talk about without being sweared at by standard libertarians.

Social libertarians belive that we need to guarantee minimum to people to have an equal and free society, a libertarian one.

But my case against that is, it's still capitalism, I as a mutualist belive in free Market and free society as long you don't limit freedom of others, and not limiting someones freedom, in mutualist theory is IMPOSSIBLE in capitalism, even in social libertarian one.

That's becuase of private property, and I distinguish personal and private property, private property Is something that generates capital to someone just by existing, and by nature of capitalism, even with welfare it results in massive inequality.

Also, when it comes to employment, the worker has no bargain chance he may bargain for some bigger wage, but it's ultimately dependent on a boss, even if he makes record profits, to raise wages. Worker must accept any work in order to survive, the imbalnce in Boss vs Worker exists and is so prevelent that it's not free market from workers perspective and not a free society from workers perspective.

To add up, land shouldnt be property, property should be a fruit of ones labour, land isn't that, land is created by Earth, Space etc. and should belong to all.

If u have some objections to my claims, I am open for discussion.

I plan on writing a political essay to publish on Medium that discusses this political philosophy, its values, and how it would operate in society. The subject is surrounding individualism and progressivism, and critiquing modern political discourse by combining these values into one: that being social libertarianism.

I am currently writing the definition of social libertarianism, and I need constructive feedback on its terminology. I borrowed quotes from a quora user, but may want to paraphrase to avoid copyright.

Here is a sample of what I plan on talking about:

Social Libertarianism emerges as a distinctive political philosophy that seeks a delicate balance between individual liberties, limited governance, and a commitment to social democracy through a social market economy. Within International and American political contexts, this political position is placed as a CENTERE-LEFT position, due to the circumstances in advocating for socioeconomic reforms while also upholding individual freedoms to be maintained by a non-oppressive entity, like an overarching government authority. The ‘Social’ in this sense is in reference to Social Democracy, a reformist system that incorporates both capitalist and socialist frameworks into a functional democratic system. ‘Libertarianism’ refers to the commitment to individualistic liberty as the primary value. These combine into a fusion of personalities: Social Libertarians are considered to be libertarian Social Democrats. This ideology takes after the Nordic Model of government and seeks to replicate it in a more decentralized, nearly libertarian socialist influence of politicking framework. In a nutshell, take a Nordic country like Norway or Sweden and redesign its government into a bottom-up structure where power is concentrated within cities and municipalities rather than a central body state, and you have a basic idea of the system they advocate for. Social libertarians, due to their worldview and philosophy in politics, are considered to be individualists and anti-authoritarians.

Does this sample text seem fair or reasonable?

as for me, I liked the film I listened to Weapons of Math Destruction a book mentioned in the film the book itself is leftwing but I thought it was good.

Maybe It look exist, but i cant find it now. So, Can someone give me a link to the Discord server?
