Libertarian

If liberty means anything, it means
Responsibility. If it did not
We would be nothing more than libertines
Slowly strangled by our own garrotte.
True freedom lies in true society
In placing others' needs above your own;
We band together best when we are free
And tyrannize the worst when all alone.
With freedom comes no power to do ill
Or if there is, it is a strength unused;
It is not mere extension of the will:
To solipsize is to be self-abused.
Such liberty well-planted ever grows:
The freedom of my fist ends ere your nose.
