The '''Libertarian Movement''' ({{lang-it|Movimento Libertario}}, '''ML''') is a [[list of political parties in Italy|political party in Italy]]. It espouses a typically [[libertarianism|libertarian]] platform: minimal regulation of society, [[liberism]] of the markets, strong defense of natural rights of liberty and property, [[non-interventionism]] in foreign policy, and [[laissez-faire]] freedom of trade and travel to all foreign countries. Its leaders are [[Leonardo Facco]] and [[Giorgio Fidenato]]. The party has as its symbol a round disk with a yellow-gold background in reference to the [[gold standard]] and also to its membership in the [[anarcho-capitalism|anarcho-capitalist]] movement.
 
ML was started as a cultural association on 24 September 2005 in [[Treviglio]] with the writing of the ''Manifesto and Constitution of the Libertarian Movement'' by Leonardo Facco. Two years after, ML was transformed into a party by Leonardo Facco, Giorgio Fidenato and Marcello Mazzilli. The party's goal is to defend life, liberty and property of each individual within a strong [[free market]] system.<ref>[http://opinione.it/articolo.php?arg=14&art=61183 ''The libertarian way to happiness''] ''L'Opinione'', by Elisa Borghi. Retrieved on May 18, 2007. Interview to Marcello Mazzilli spokesman of the Movimento Libertario.</ref> The party has its registered office in  the Municipality of [[Pordenone]].
 
The party supports both the [[Padanian nationalism|Padanian]] and the [[Venetian nationalism|Venetian]] independence movements.<ref>http://www.movimentolibertario.com/2012/11/facco-per-lindipendenza-servono-azioni-forti-non-consulte/</ref><ref>http://www.anordestdiche.com/il-nord-est-che-vuole-separarsi-si-raduna-a-jesolo/</ref> Among other things, Facco is editor of the pro-independence and libertarian online newspaper ''L'Indipendenza''.<ref>http://www.lindipendenza.com/chi-siamo/</ref> Both Facco, who has been a leader of the libertarian faction within [[Lega Nord]] in the 1990s, and Fidenato have participated in events and demonstrations organized by separatist parties as the [[Padanian Union]],<ref>http://www.agi.it/milano/notizie/201111261845-pol-rmi0053-unione_padana_lega_ha_fallito_autonomia_comunita_padano_alpine</ref> the [[Alpine Padanian Union]],<ref>http://www.bergamo.info/politica/politica-locale/assalto-al-grano-padano/</ref> [[Veneto State]].<ref>http://www.movimentolibertario.com/2011/09/02/veneto-monumento-allevasore-fiscale/</ref><ref>http://messaggeroveneto.gelocal.it/cronaca/2011/09/28/news/italia-al-collasso-portiamo-in-slovenia-i-nostri-risparmi-1.842796</ref>
 
In November 2011 Facco proposed the creation of an '''Independentist Libertarian Movement''' (MLI), which would support all the separatist movements and parties active around Italy.<ref>http://www.movimentolibertario.com/2011/11/16/indipendentisti-e-libertari/</ref> In the run-up of a conference of free independentists organized by ''L'Indipendenza'',<ref>http://www.lindipendenza.com/confederazione-liberi-indipendentisti-una-proposta/</ref> Fidenato, who had been long in favour of the dissolution of Italy, endorsed the proposal.<ref>http://www.lindipendenza.com/movimento-libertario-indipendentista/</ref><ref>http://www.movimentolibertario.com/2012/02/13/disponibili-a-partecipare-alla-conferenza-indipendentista/</ref>
 
==Ideology==
ML takes inspiration from the [[classical liberalism]] of [[John Locke]] and the [[Founding Fathers of the United States]] conjugated to the 19th-century [[Individualist anarchism in the United States|American individualist anarchist]] strand of [[Benjamin Tucker]], [[Henry David Thoreau]] and [[Lysander Spooner]].<ref name="theory">[http://www.movimentolibertario.it/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49&Itemid=55 ''The political theory of libertarian''] political, cultural and economic references of the Movimento Libertario</ref> On the economy ML takes inspiration from the [[Austrian School]] and the theoretic formulation of philosopher and economist [[Murray N. Rothbard]]. The actions in favor of tax resistance, free entrepreneurship and political non-voting also recall the agorist reflections by [[Samuel Edward Konkin III]] although ML does not officially identify itself in programmatic positions and spectrum of the American left-libertarians. ML also includes some aspects from the American model of liberty theorized by [[Robert Nozick]] ([[minarchism]]) and the [[Objectivism (Ayn Rand)|Objectivism]] philosophy described in novels by [[Ayn Rand]]. ML refers to [[freedom of association]] of the anarchic federalism, anarcho-capitalist free market society and to the Jeffersonian limited government of classical liberalism.
 
ML holds an anti-[[European federalism|federalist]] stance on [[European integration]]. It is against the transformation of the [[European Union]] into a [[federation]], preferring the voluntary accession and the unanimity of a [[confederation]]. The term "[[federalism]]", as it is used by ML, means [[decentralisation|decentralization]] and [[fiscal federalism]], as opposed to the Italian highly [[centralisation|centralized]] state. Party icons include [[Ferdinando Galiani]], [[Cesare Beccaria]], [[Filippo Mazzei]], [[Emerico Amari]], [[Carlo Cattaneo]], [[Gaetano Mosca]], [[Vilfredo Pareto]], [[Luigi Einaudi]], [[Bruno Leoni]], and [[Gianfranco Miglio]]. Despite being officially a party, ML has spoken in favor of [[non-voting]].<ref>[http://opinione.it/articolo.php?arg=10&art=70685 ''Classic liberals at the polls: what to do?''] ''L'Opinione'', by Gustavo Cevolani. Retrieved on April 10, 2008.</ref> A party slogan says: "Neither right nor left, nor centrist. Simply free is better".
 
==Principles==
In its party's constitution ML acknowledges the following libertarian principles:
* [[Political freedom|Freedom]], understood as the absence of constraint is a natural right of the individual, which nobody (private or public organization) must threaten;
* The [[Government]], in its various variants, forces people to obey blindly and accept legislation invasive and oppressive monopoly;
* Everyone has the right to seek their own happiness and that of his loved ones, taking responsibility for their actions;
* Each individual is entitled organize in freedom themselves to protect their lives and their belongings, particularly given the enormous difficulties posed by the power of politicians at all levels;
* The need to eliminate and reduce the state, politicians and bureaucracies in the everyday life, increasingly recognizing the dignity of all people working really, producing their own resources and possessions.
* Property is a natural and inalienable right of man, is primarily the property of themselves, of the own bodies and of one's life.
