Here's a sort of sociological 'unified field theory'
for the politics of a free society;
as discussions can be more meaningful
and may be more beneficial
if people define their terms.


PUBLIC morality: that which is right/wrong for all persons.

Libertarian 'public morality' can be thought of as
reciprocal comprehensive physical autonomy for each person;
It is consistency to a 'physical aggression truce'
that can be expressed as:

each person may do anything that they individually
choose to do of their own free will EXCEPT initiate,
or do a credible threat to initiate, physical force
against the person or justly acquired possessions
of another (yes, this does also address fraud)


PRIVATE morality: that which is right/wrong for persons
in private association (congregation, civic club, business
and so on) The specifics can be as arbitrary as is mutually
agreed upon by consenting persons in voluntary association.


PERSONAL morality: that which is right/wrong for an individual
person. This will usually be some combination of PUBLIC and
PRIVATE 'morality' chosen by free will of the adopter of this
personal standard.
