Libertarianism, on the other hand, respects the right to choose. It values the individual. The fundamental right is to live as we please, as long as it doesn’t inhibit others doing the same. It condemns practices such as: taxes , for they are an infringement of property rights; laws, for they restrict what one may do; regulation of companies or products. It is up to the individual to choose how much (or how little) they care about certain things. If one wishes to disregard their health, they may do so. If one wishes to spend money recklessly, let them. The individual chooses what is best for them.
