Our Principles

Left libertarianism is a political philosophy which combines a libertarian commitment to personal freedom with egalitarianism.

Individual Sovereignty

You alone have the right to decide what happens to your own body, mind, and person. This is often expressed as self-ownership: the idea that you have a property right over yourself.

Any interference contrary to these rights is thus recognised as impermissible. Society should be organised on the basis of free association, not state force.

Geoism

The fairest system of taxation is a tax on the unimproved value of the land (LVT), as argued by Henry George. As no one created the land, we do not have the same rights to its ownership as we do over our person and work.

Where other taxes have a distortionary effect on economic activity, LVT targets the unproductive act of land speculation in a way the rich cannot easily evade.

Co-Operatism

The fairest way to organise a workplace is free and democratic self-management by workers. Arrangements like worker co-ops have proven their viability in the market, avoiding the pitfalls of state planning.

Co-operative ownership alleviates the lack of representation workers have in conventional private firms through mechanisms of workplace democracy.
