- 3pt14159 11y agoBroadly, yes. It's even on my twitter profile. https://twitter.com/zachaysan https://twitter.com/zachaysan I think that some people have a childish view of libertarianism, so I shy away from straight out calling myself a libertarian these days. I recognize the need for expediency in things like food labelling and even immigration and healthcare; but I don't view healthcare as an innate "right" I view it as something that is necessary to keep the economy efficient and something that almost everyone would want if something bad happened to them. I'm very against wars of aggression, but I'm not so libertarian as to deny the need for things like nuclear weapons or a realist influenced foreign policy (even if my international relations view is much more strongly influenced by liberalism). I don't think most libertarians are correct on the environment, since they aren't practical enough to admit that pollution is currently unavoidable, and strong treaties are needed to keep the oceans clean and full of biodiversity. I call myself a geolibertarian, but I clarify it because I don't want people thinking I want to tear everything down. I just want to tear down some things, like grants for the arts, corporate welfare, militarism, and complex bureaucracies.
