Libertarianism is a political theory originating in the United States (US) that promotes free market capitalism and anti-imperialism.[1][2] The political theory is heavily oriented around civil liberties and natural rights, making it the de facto successor to the classical liberalism of the Enlightenment. Libertarians are staunchly anti-Communist,[3] however are open to working with Communnists in order to oppose imperialism.[4]
In the US, most libertarians are members or supporters of the Libertarian Party. Many libertarians are also present within the populist factions of the Republican Party, including US Senator Rand Paul.[5] It should also be noted that some libertarians are politically independent, especially those who are followers of Ayn Rand and objectivism.[6]
