[edit] libertarian

Hello, thanks for your informative message in the Proudhon talk page. I've been curious about the term "libertarian." Supposedly, Joseph Déjacque was the first to use the term. If it's not too much to ask, could you translate this from letter from Déjacque to Prouhdon: "Anarchiste juste-milieu, libéral et non LIBERTAIRE, vous voulez le libre échange pour le coton et la chandelle, et vous préconisez des systèmes protecteurs de l'homme contre la femme, dans la circulation des passions humaines" [1] Is LIBERTAIRE translatable as "libertarian"? Thanks. By the way, welcome to Wikipedia. RJII 16:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

hello, sorry if I'm late. No you shouldn't traduce "libertaire" by "libertarian", "libertaires" (nowadays) are against restriction-free weapons, they hate free market and competition, they favour gay marriage, depenalization of drugs. In France, "libertaires" are leftists. They are liberal on social issues only. They sometimes say they dislike the state but what they always attack is capitalism. It is more a posture than a sophisticated political thinking.

On the other hand, "liberals" in France are criticized for being rightist and it is true that they only talk about economic freedom. Liberals refers to advocates of free-market regardless their opinion on social issues.

The translation you are asking for is hard and vain but I think that, with my indications, you will catch the point. Apollon 22:54, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anticommunisme

Bonjour,

Si ça pose problème, il faudrait peut-être redéfinir ce qu'est l'"anti-communisme" dans un sens plus restrictif. En tout cas, Chirac et VGE ont toujours été des opposants au communisme. Cordialement, Wedineinheck 05:56, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
