Environmentalism for the Libertarian Movement: Meet the Green Libertarians, Geolibertarians, & More!

What is a Green Libertarian? Learn more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_libertarianism The Green Libertarian (also known as eco-libertarianism) is a hybrid political philosophy that has developed in the United States. Based upon a mixture of political third party values, such as the environmental and economic platform from the Green Party and the civil liberties platform of the Libertarian Party, the green libertarian philosophy attempts to consolidate progressive or agrarian values with libertarianism. While green libertarians have tended to associate with the Green Party, the movement has grown to encompass economic liberals who advocate free markets and commonly identify with contemporary American libertarianism.

Green Anarchism at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_anarchism (or eco-anarchism) is a school of thought within anarchism which puts a particular emphasis on environmental issues. A green anarchist theory is normally one that extends anarchist ideology beyond a critique of human interactions. The Eco-Anarchist is not merely dedicated to human liberation, but also to some form of nonhuman liberation which aims to bring about an environmentally sustainable anarchist society.

but should not be confused with Anarcho-Naturism at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-naturism (also referred to as anarchist naturism) as the union of anarchist and naturist philosophies. Anarcho-naturism advocates vegetarianism, free love, nudism, hiking and an ecological world view within anarchist groups and outside them. Anarcho-naturism also promotes an ecological worldview, small ecovillages, and most prominently nudism as a way to avoid the artificiality of the industrial mass society of modernity. Naturist individualist anarchists see the individual in their biological, physical and psychological aspects and try to eliminate social determinations.

Support Geolibertarian Radical Center

Geolibertarianism is a political and economic ideology particularly committed to tax reform that integrates libertarianism with Georgism (alternatively geoism or geonomics). It is most often associated with left-libertarianism or the radical center. Geolibertarians hold that geographical space and raw natural resources—any assets that qualify as land by economic definition—are rivalrous goods to be considered common property or more accurately unowned, which all individuals share an equal human right to access, not capital wealth to be privatized fully and absolutely. Therefore, landholders must pay compensation according to the rental value decided by the free market, absent any improvements, to the community for the civil right of usufruct (that is, legally recognized exclusive possession with restrictions on property abuse) or otherwise fee simple title with no such restrictions. Some geolibertarians also support Pigovian taxes on pollution and severance taxes to regulate natural resource depletion, compensatory fees with ancillary positive environmental effects on activities which negatively impact land values.

Georgism, also called geoism, is an economic philosophy holding that, while people should own the value they produce themselves, economic value derived from land (including natural resources and natural opportunities) should belong equally to all members of society. Georgism is concerned with the distribution of economic rent caused by natural monopolies, pollution, and the control of commons, including title of ownership for natural resources and other contrived privileges (e.g., intellectual property). Any natural resource which is inherently limited in supply can generate economic rent, but the classical and most significant example of 'land monopoly' involves the extraction of common ground rent from valuable urban locations. Georgists argue that taxing economic rent is efficient, fair, and equitable. The main Georgist policy recommendation is a tax assessed on land value. Georgists argue that revenues from a land value tax (LVT) can be used to reduce or eliminate existing taxes (for example, on income, trade, or purchases) that are unfair and inefficient. Some Georgists also advocate for the return of surplus public revenue back to the people by means of a basic income or citizen's dividend. Learn more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism

The Libertarian National Socialist Green Party views, as libertarians, originates in the belief in the autonomy of the individual. An individual without a world would have no way to even form the concept of caring about anything but itself. The society is owned, collectively, by the people, and it acts in their interest. Although they support an end to all anti-discrimination laws in medicine, hiring, housing and government service, they support each ethno cultural group having it's own space, it's own laws and customs, and leaders. Closing the chapter of environmental disaster in human history is the first objective, but this group does not hide it's fascist roots. Learn more at

Libertarian Transhumanism is a political ideology synthesizing libertarianism and transhumanism. Self-identified libertarian transhumanists are advocates of the asserted "right to human enhancement" who argue that the free market is the best guarantor of this right, claiming that it produces greater prosperity and personal freedom than other economic systems. Libertarian transhumanists believe that the principle of self-ownership is the most fundamental idea from which both libertarianism and transhumanism stem. They are rational egoists and ethical egoists who embrace the prospect of using emerging technologies to enhance human capacities, which they believe stems from the self-interested application of reason and will in the context of the individual freedom to achieve a posthuman state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. They extend this rational and ethical egoism to advocate a form of "biolibertarianism". Learn more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanist_politics#Libertarian_transhumanism

Voluntaryism (sometimes voluntarism) is a philosophy which holds that all forms of human association should be voluntary has gained renewed use since the late 20th century, especially among libertarians. Its principal beliefs stem from the non-aggression principle. The Voluntaryist magazine suggested that voluntaryists were advocates of non-political strategies to achieve a free society. By rejecting electoral politics as incompatible with libertarian goals, voluntaryists argued that political methods invariably strengthen the legitimacy of coercive governments. Voluntaryists seek instead to delegitimize the State through education, and advocate for the withdrawal of the cooperation and tacit consent on which state power ultimately depends.

Agorism is a libertarian social philosophy that advocates creating a society in which all relations between people are voluntary exchanges by means of counter-economics, thus engaging with aspects of peaceful revolution. Counter-economics allows for an immediate self-liberation from statist controls, to whatever degree practical, by applying entrepreneurial logic to rationally decide which laws to discreetly break and when. The fundamental principle is to trade risk for profit, although profit can refer to any gain in perceived value rather than strictly monetary gains (as a consequence of the subjective theory of value). Believers in agorism postulate that the correct method of achieving a voluntary society is through advocacy and growth of the underground economy or "black market" – the "counter-economy" until such a point that the State's perceived moral authority and outright power have been so thoroughly undermined that revolutionary market anarchist legal and security enterprises are able to arise from underground and ultimately suppress government as a criminal activity (with taxation being treated as theft, war being treated as mass murder, et cetera).

"Libertarian (Latin: liber, "free") is a collection of political philosophies and movements that uphold liberty as a core principle. Libertarians seek to maximize political freedom and autonomy, emphasizing freedom of choice, voluntary association, individual judgment, and self-ownership. Libertarianism is an extreme laissez-faire political philosophy advocating only minimal state intervention in the lives of citizens.
