{{Unfinished}} Libertarianism can be divided into three major realms. (There might be more, but they are not very important.) ==Political Libertarianism== Political libertarianism is the libertarianism that we are exposed to through the media, the mass market libertarianism. Political libertarianism, like the media, is controlled by plutocrats and operated for the benefit of plutocrats. It is not about "[[liberty]]" or "[[freedom]]": it is about ownership. The plutocrats want to convince the populace that their ownership of the vast majority of the world's wealth is legitimate and untouchable. Their objective is to get more wealth and prevent losing any wealth to taxation or other liabilities. Political libertarianism is dominated by [[public relations]] programs that have been around since at least the 1930's, reacting to [[Progressivism]]. They took off with the [[Mount Pelerin Society]] in the 1950's, and scored their first big successes in the 1980's under Reagan. This is also called [[Vulgar Libertarianism|vulgar libertarianism]] by Kevin Carson. The message really is: “Them pore ole bosses need all the help they can get.” ==Individualistic Libertarianism== Individualistic libertarianism is what the targets of political libertarianism believe. This is a huge morass of conflicting ideas with only one constant: the political libertarian idea that ownership should be sacred. Ask a libertarian what part of ownership they would give up to achieve any other social end, and they will say no part. It doesn't matter if some socialistic government (such as roads or defense) would benefit the lives of everybody; they despise it because it conflicts with property. ==Philosophical Libertarianism== Philosophical libertarianism is mostly corrupt: much of it is funded by plutocrats to provide ideas and materials for their public relations campaigns.
