The slow death of the British Civil Service

[RandBlade]

What now?

Far right is a term that has been adopted to mean Nazis, racists, fascists etc and not people who are simply right wing. Couldn't be more different to Libertarians.

Libertarians are however pretty hard right, not soft centre right. They're firm in what they believe and taking a stand in their beliefs.

As has been discussed here to death, the right and left paradigm isn't particularly useful for describing libertarian principles. Classifying them as hard right doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to me.

Because it requires a government to have left or right. No government, no problem, right?

I like the political compass version of left and right for economics, libertarianism v authoritarianism for social issues. And yes, libertarianism is a very hard liberal form of right.

Even that doesn't make sense because you can have social libertarians who are fiscally to the left - see anarcho-communists.

I would not call anarcho-communists libertarians because communism is very illiberal economically.

I appreciate that. I also hope you appreciate that Randblade does not hold a sole monopoly on the English language and how it is used.
