50A / 50B ...individual<--->groupLIBERTARIAN / LEFT ANARCHIST
I oppose 1) taxes beyond those needed to provide law enforcement / national defense, 2) government interference with free market forces, and 3) laws limiting individual freedom--restricting speech / public expression, limiting firearms, requiring military service, making certain acts crimes where there’s no victim, restrictions on private property use, etc. Freedom is protected by such property, so governments should not appropriate it for public welfare. (Note: Libertarians preaching abolition of government are often called anarcho-capitalists. Left anarchists also seek abolition of the state, but value egalitarianism and would abandon or vastly reduce private property rights. They oppose government, not order, and would replace it with free associations. Co-ops & communes would be key units in the economy.)
