Libertarian Party Objectivism

Despite being the constant underdog and loser in major elections third parties make some significant contribution to the political spectrum in the United States. Third Party Agendas are taken serious by the Democratic and Republican Parties and specific pieces of the Third Party Agendas are sometimes adopted by the two major parties. Third parties give discontented voters other alternatives. The Republican and Democratic Parties have been known to operate in similar styles and third parties give the voter the opportunity to express their discontent. The third parties in the United States are policy advocates and often are more specific about were they stand ideologically. Often the Republican and Democratic Parties try and take a moderate

The first objection to Moderate Objectivism the objection to the Functionality Thesis brought forward by Pojman and Fieser. The function of morality, as claimed by Pojman and Fieser, is supposed to serve everyone’s interests or at least those who are affected. Thrasymachus claims that the strongest members of the society make up justice to control the weak and benefit themselves. When the weak ‘does justice’, this is no more than performing an action that serves to benefit the elite class at large. (Luco, notes) In addition, societies have followed and still do follow moral principles that only seem to benefit an elite class of people. This can be seen from several case studies:

Conservatism as a Tension between Paternalism and Libertarianism There are many different strands of conservatism within the ideology, the most significant of which in modern terms are paternalism and libertarianism. This conflict can be illustrated by the rival traditions of one-nation conservatism and New Right, or in particular neoliberal, conservatism. The basic idea of paternalism is to have authority over people for their own good. Whereas continental conservatives in the nineteenth century opposed any change, an Anglo-American tradition began with Edmund Burke which was more cautious, modest and pragmatic - these type of conservatives were willing to ‘change in order to conserve’.

Signed the Military Peace Establishment Act Aligned more with the Federalist party because it established a military presence in the United States, which is what their party believed in.

Gary Johnson was born in North Dakota in 1953. He attended the University of New Mexico and started his own construction company, which became a multi-million-dollar business. Johnson won the New Mexico governor’s race in 1994 as a Republican and was re-elected four years later. After a failed campaign for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, he became the Libertarian Party candidate for the office that year and again in 2016. He has regularly supported Libertarian causes such as marijuana

The Libertarian Party was formed in Colorado Springs by a group that was led by

Objectivism is a system of philosophy created by Ayn Rand, a Russian-American novelist. It has four main principles: objective reality, absolute reason, individualism, and laissez-faire capitalism. The concept of objective reality is where the name “Objectivism” originated. “Basically, it means that outside our own personal perceptions, there is one true reality happening. Objectively, there are things going on in the world whether or not a person is there to see them. Objectivism's answer to 'if a tree falls in the forest and nobody's

Propaganda appears in many different forms, including novels or novellas. Ayn Rand uses her novella, Anthem, to show the world her ideas of objectivism. The basics of Objectivism is that it urges individual advancement. It follows the points of reality, reason, self-interest, and pure capitalism.

The Republican’s principles were not to increase slavery, support of the protective tariff, establish a daily mail service, a transcontinental railroad, and enactment of free homestead legislation. The Republican principles believe that the only rule of a government is to protect the equal natural rights of individual citizens. The rights of individuals, not groups were the reason to creating a government. The individual's’ rights are cited in the Declaration of Independence and should be taking in action was the principles of the Republican. Abraham Lincoln believed that nation could not be under controlled if the states were split into slavery states and anti-slavery. That believe was what attracted the Northerners. The Northerners at that

Very rarely do third party candidates poll more than 10 percent but Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson, is doing just that (Russonello). The Libertarian party as a whole has seen a recent rise in recent elections with Gary Johnson being the first third party candidate to be on the ballot in all 50 states in 20 years (Tau). Despite the general public confusion on them their ideology is quite simple. The general idea is that Libertarians are fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Britannica defines Libertarians as, “classical liberals who strongly emphasize the individual right to liberty.” (Encyclopedia Britannica). It is ultimately about giving people the liberty to do what they want without hurting other people.

From my studies in Political Science it is not hard to understand that the United States political system is dominated by two political parties; the Republican Party, and the Democratic party. This is known as a two-party system, the definition of a two party name is evident from the name. A two party system functions on two parties, much like United States politics this is confusing because more than two parties are allowed to compete in elections. In America, any party outside of Democrats or Republicans is referred to a “Third Party”. My research paper will focus around one of the third parties, The Libertarian party. This paper will set up necessary knowledge through an exploration of the ideals of the party, and where

Once the libertarian party goes camping they set up rather quickly exactly one main rule that reads: ‘every member will follow their own desires and allow others to do the same.’ Members agree with their only policy until they realize that what they want directly interferes with the desires of others. One member wants to set up kindle for a fire, another use the wood for structure for settlements, and yet another wants wooden fishing rods. No one desires to get wood.

Libertarianism ideas dates back thousands of years to the beliefs of Adam Smith. It’s the belief that liberty is the core of modern civilization. Libertarianism itself was founded in the 1970’s. Its ideas are to minimalize the government, more like the original roots of America. In doing so, the people would have more freedom and the government will become more like it was originally intended to be when America was founded.

The philosophy of objectivism is to be selfish for yourself and to work hard to achieve a life of purpose. Howard Roark, the main character in Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead is the perfect personification of this philosophy. Rand made Roark to be the ideal man based on her own beliefs. Ayn Rand's immoral ideology offers pursuing your own happiness as your highest moral aim and not caring for how other's feel about your own actions. Objectivism adheres strictly to the path of rational self-interest that is to benefit of every human to seek his own pursuits alone. Rand doesn’t believe that a person should in any way sacrifice others for himself, but she rejects any form of moral altruism. The novel represents objectivism in all its iniquitous glory.

She then wrote a book called, The Fountainhead. It was on the best-seller list for most of 1945 (“Rand,” World). Ayn Rand then wrote the novel “Atlas Shrugged” in 1957. “Rand began publishing her manifestos in the Objectivist Newsletter in the early 1960’s. After a decade of disillusionment over political and personal affairs, she ceased publishing it in 1974 (it had by then renamed The Ayn Rand Newsletter)” (“Rand,” World).
