“For us, democracy is a question of human dignity. This includes the political liberties, the right to freely express our views, the right to criticize and to influence opinion. It embraces the right to health and work, to education and social security.” HumansPoliticalSocialViewsLibertyOpinionDemocracyInfluenceSecurityDignityEmbraceCriticizeSocial SecurityHuman Dignity Author:Olof Palme
“Government planning not only fails; it tends to produce outcomes that are the opposite of what its proponents say that they favor. The only stable and productive social system is one that embraces human liberty in its totality, and defends the market economy, private property, sound money, and peaceful international relations, while opposing government intervention as economically and socially destructive.” HumansGovernmentSocialSoundLibertyEconomyFailingProduceOppositesRelationEmbracePropertyInternationalFavorsPlanningPeacefulOutcomesDestructiveProductiveStableInterventionInternational RelationsOpposingPrivate PropertyTotalityMarket EconomySocial SystemsGovernment Intervention Author:Llewellyn Rockwell
“John Stuart Mill believed that the only acceptable reason for government to limit a person's liberty was to prevent him from causing unacceptable harm to others. Mill was not a libertarian, but many libertarians are quick to cite this principle when arguing against a regulation that they oppose. And I believe most thoughtful libertarians are prepared to embrace something fairly close to Mill's harm principle. But accepting that principle implies accepting many of the institutions of the modern welfare state that libertarians have vigorously opposed in the past, such as safety regulation.” BelievePersonsStatesReasonGovernmentPastI BelieveLibertyAcceptingPrinciplesModernLimitsSafetyInstitutionsEmbracePreparedHarmLibertarianArguingWelfareThoughtfulAcceptableRegulationMillsWelfare StateCiting Author:Robert H.
