What political ideology is this?

Question

I'm economically liberal, and socially libertarian.

For example, federal taxes are necessary to support universal health care, infrastructure, educational institutions, and welfare for those unable to work (those unwilling to work don't get a penny) - since these sort of things become prohibitively expensive for many people, despite being necessary.

But socially, I believe that the only criminal law that should exist is to protect the rights of a person, not society as a whole. For example, there should be no war on drugs (all are legal, if you abuse them it's your own d**n fault), all s*x/pornography laws (except rape, age of consent, child p**n, etc) should be abolished ... basically, the state should not have to legislate anything unless one person is being victimized by another.

I'd support libertarian parties, but they all want free market healthcare, abolishment of taxes, etc. which I don't agree with. And many liberal parties don't want to give individuals the civil liberties I believe they should be entitled to.

I would also revoke the tax exempt status currently enjoyed by religious institutions.

PS - I'm in Canada, and I think the party we have that's closest to these views is the Blog Quebecois, and they don't even run in my province (Alberta)

Answer 1

Answer 2

What you are describing is not a polical ideology; it is political idiocy!!!

Answer 3

It's a contradiction.  Now hear me out before you stop reading.

Economically liberal in that the government can acquire more money from you and legislate/pay for more things that intrude on your personal life.  

This will inadvertently cause government to intrude more into your life thus infringing on your social liberties.  

Governments are inefficient.  It would be a wonderful world if that's all they could do with funding (roads, infrastructure, schooling, etc.), but in reality, governments get sloppy because they have no competition to keep them trim and competitive.

I am not for a Republican stance either.  It's just, from what we have figured out so far, big governments get bad quickly if they are not kept in some sort of limit.....

I would love for true legislation to come thru that says federal governments can ONLY fund this and that and be audited by an independent department and corrected, but it isn't.

Answer 4

A benevolent anarchy?
