Wants no central state at all, leaving governance to private and local voluntary arrangements.
Rejects majority rule over property and persons, but also opposes any ruler; consent comes from contracts, not elections.
Places individual liberty above almost any collective security claim made by a state.
Without nations as political units, it neither favours global institutions nor national sovereignty.
Opposes state armies and wars but accepts privately organised defence of persons and property.
Split: some favour open movement, while others would let property owners exclude newcomers as they wish.
Holds private property and market exchange as essentially absolute; redistribution is seen as theft.
No state planning or regulation of any kind; all coordination happens through markets.
Supports completely free trade and free movement of capital across any borders.
Mostly secular in argument, though individuals may freely build religious communities on their own property.
Indifferent as a political doctrine; adherents range from cultural progressives to strong traditionalists.
Generally welcomes technological change and markets for enhancement, with no state brakes on innovation.
