This is the libertarian student organization at UC Berkeley. Our mission is to encourage individuals to learn about, discuss, scrutinize, and/or advocate the libertarian political philosophy and the ideas of liberty nationally and globally. We challenge ourselves and others to put our
respective worldviews and systems of rationality to the test. At the least, we provide an environment to meet a diversity of people and ideas. "an extreme laissez-faire political philosophy advocating only minimal state intervention in the lives of citizens." – Google
"a collection of political philosophies that uphold liberty as their principal objective. Libertarians seek to maximize autonomy and freedom of choice, emphasizing political freedom, voluntary association, and the primacy of individual judgment." – Wikipedia
"a political philosophy that affirms the rights of individuals to liberty, to acquire, keep, and exchange their holdings, and considers the protection of individual rights the primary role for the state." – Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
Appropriate to many libertarians' championing of relativism, there is no universal and simple definition of their ideology. Political libertarians, broadly speaking, value individual autonomy and condemn legislative and interpersonal coercion. As we delve into topics such as campaign finance reform, reproductive rights, and economic policy, the definition of libertarianism seems to grow larger and more complex. Our meetings are on Wednesdays from 8-9pm in Dwinelle 88, and mainly consist of speakers, structured debate, informal discussion, and other activities.
