Welcome to LibertarianDebates!

The Goal of this subreddit is:

Improve Communication & Cooperation This subreddit is intended specifically for improving cooperation, education, and clear communication between various schools of political ideology with libertarian ideology.

Debates between libertarians and non-libertarians tend to run hot on reddit, between downvote brigades and name-calling. None of that is allowed here. This is a neutral ground to actually gain an understanding of both sides of the argument. Both sides often claim that the other side would support their view if they were only informed -- this is where you can find out if that's true.

Engagement guidelines

Remain civil and respectful towards diverse ideas. Posts and comments that either resort to ad-hominem attacks or are otherwise abusive will be deleted.

-We lack downvotes so this is heavily moderate. If someone is acting in this manner, then feel free to report them. If you reply in kind, then your comment will be nixed with it. Each user gets one warning then may be banned.

Spammers and extreme trolls will not receive a warning. If you believe you have been banned in error or as a result of perceived moderator abuse, then do not hesitate to send us a message.
Please read and remember reddiquette where appropriate.
Rational and respectful debates are encouraged, however if you feel aggressive and unable to respond intelligently these posts may also be flagged.
Don’t demonize another person’s position with your rhetoric (e.g. instead of “Why does x jack-off to y” try “Why does x agree with y”). This poisons the well of the debate and limits responses anyway.
This subreddit is currently moderated by two libertarians and two democrats. Bans by a moderator can be appealed to the other three moderators; majority between those three rules.
