Javier Milei on the difference between right wing, left wing, and libertarian:

Interviewer: What is it to be libertarian? ... Why do you define yourself as a libertarian?

Milei: I define it for you by default [by opposites].  

What would someone on the right be like? Someone who doesn't mind who you trade with -- is a liberal economically speaking -- but it bothers him who you get into bed with. Who is a "cultural conservative." 

Int.: Repeat that?

Milei: A right-winbg person is someone who is economically liberal, someone who doesn't care who you trade with, but cares who you sleep with. Who is a "cultural conservative."

Int.: Okay. I get it.

Milei: On the other hand, a left-wing person is liberal culturally --- they don't care who you get into bed with -- but is interventionist economically; they don't let you trade with whomever you want. 

So, what would a libertarian be? 

Someone who believes in unrestricted respect for the life project of others. [Who believes consenting adults can get into bed with whoever you want -- with every one you want.

Int.: Is that how a libertarian thinks? 

Milei:  Exactomento. 

And obviously you can trade with whoever you want.

Int.: You are libertarian then?

Milei: Exactomento.
