Mbak aris salah memahami kata liberalisme. Barangkali kita terjebak sama istilah aja, sebab memang ada perbedaan2 antara: liberalism, libertarianism, libertinism.
Saya coba kutipkan dari wikipedia.com: 1. Liberalism is an ideology, or current of political thought, which strives to maximize individual liberty through rights under law. Liberalism seeks a society characterized by free action within a defined framework. This framework is generally seen to include a pluralistic liberal democratic system of government, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, and economic competition. Liberalism rejected many foundational assumptions which dominated most earlier theories of government, such as the divine right of kings, hereditary status, and established religion. 2. Libertarianism originated in the tradition of liberalism, and often the terms are used interchangeably by Libertarians. Advocacy of free markets, free trade, limited government, and a focus on personal liberty unite the two philosophies. 3. Libertinism was a form of freethinker philosophy, and was first derisively applied by John Calvin to a Dutch Anabaptist sect in the 16th century that rejected many of society's established mores, and advocated a community of goods and of women. "Libertine" has come to mean one free from restraint, particularly from social and religious norms and morals. The philosophy gained new-found adherents in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in France and England. Notable among these were the Marquis de Sade and Aleister Crowley. In modern times, libertinism has been associated with Libertarianism, sado- masochism, nihilism, and free love. Barangkali yg mbak Aris maksud itu yg nomor (3), sedangkan definisi standarnya itu yg nomor (1) dan AS/Inggris (Anglo-Saxon countries) itu adalah promotor no (2) sekarang2 ini. Mudah2an enggak debat kusir lagi mengenai liberalisme.
