    • Free-market capitalism

    • Laissez-faire capitalism

    • Welfare capitalism

    • State capitalism

    What is the opposite of libertarianism? 

    • Conservatism

    • Liberalism

    • Collectivism

    • Green party

    Correct Answer
    A. Collectivism
    Explanation
    Collectivism is the opposite of libertarianism because libertarianism emphasizes individual liberty, limited government intervention, and free markets, while collectivism promotes the idea that the needs and goals of the community or society as a whole should take precedence over individual rights and freedoms. Collectivism advocates for a more centralized and planned economy, where resources and decision-making power are controlled by the state or the collective, rather than being left to the individual.

    Which of these is NOT a libertarian idea? - ProProfs

    Which of these is NOT a libertarian idea?

    • Group think

    • Autonomy

    • Voluntary association

    • Individual judgement

    Correct Answer
    A. Group think
    Explanation
    Group think is not a libertarian idea because it promotes conformity and the suppression of individual thought and decision-making. Libertarianism emphasizes individual autonomy, voluntary association, and individual judgement, all of which prioritize individual freedom and the right to make independent choices. Group think goes against these principles by encouraging conformity to the beliefs and decisions of the group, limiting individual autonomy and independent thought.

    • Donkey

    • Elephant

    • Porcupine

    • Monkey

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The correct answer is porcupine. The porcupine is the animal symbol of the libertarian party. This animal represents the party's ideology of individual liberty and limited government intervention.

    Libertarians believe in the death penalty.  - ProProfs

    Libertarians believe in the death penalty. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because libertarians do not have a unified stance on the death penalty. While some libertarians may support the death penalty as a form of justice and deterrence, others argue that it violates individual rights and is an abuse of state power. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that all libertarians believe in the death penalty.

    Is a libertarian on the left or right? - ProProfs

    Is a libertarian on the left or right?

    • Right

    • Can go either way

    • Left

    • Not on the scale

    Correct Answer
    A. Can go either way
    Explanation
    The answer "can go either way" suggests that a libertarian can align with either the left or the right on the political spectrum. This is because libertarians prioritize individual liberty and limited government intervention, which can be seen as both left-leaning (advocating for personal freedoms and social justice) and right-leaning (favoring free-market capitalism and limited government regulation). Ultimately, the political alignment of a libertarian depends on their specific beliefs and priorities within the framework of individual liberty.

Therefore, it can be concluded that libertarians are generally against public schools.
