What Right-Libertarianism Stands For
Right-libertarianism, often called minarchism, holds that the state's only legitimate role is to protect people from force and fraud. It draws on Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, Murray Rothbard's early work and especially Robert Nozick's Anarchy, State, and Utopia (1974). In the United States it is linked to the Libertarian Party and figures such as Ron Paul, and in Latin America to movements around Javier Milei in Argentina. Right-libertarians oppose most taxes, regulation, welfare programs and foreign wars. Compared with Anarcho-Capitalism, they keep a small state rather than privatizing all services. Compared with Classical Liberalism, they are more radical about cutting government and more skeptical of international bodies.
