antilibertarian
Against individual freedoms
Antilibertarian describes opposition to libertarianism—the political philosophy emphasizing individual liberty, minimal government, and free markets.
Someone antilibertarian favors greater state intervention, regulation, or collective authority over individual choice: Her antilibertarian stance put her at odds with the party's free-market wing.
The term applies across the political spectrum, from progressives advocating strong regulation to traditionalists prioritizing social order over personal freedom.
