Basically, let's start a dialogue here. Explain your views on the ideology of Libertarianism.
In case you live in another country that has a different definition, we are going by the right-wing American version of the ideology.
If you don't know what it means in the United States, here's a link:

I used to be a very strong supporter of Libertarianism. Eventually, however, I studied the way mixed economies worked in other developed nations. I explored the concepts of universal healthcare, and how public education worked in other countries. I also noted how certain regulations on the economy proved beneficial, and protected the workers. Although it took 9 months of consideration (yes, I take a long time when it comes to thinking of these types of things), I left the ideology.
Now, I am a heavy supporter of worker's rights, a mixed economy with some things run in the private market and others socialized, universal healthcare, and fair trade. Things change over a long period of time. But I can't help but feel that certain parts of the ideology still attract me.
So what are your thoughts?
