libertario

libertarian

adjective lyeh-ber-TAH-ryoh Rare

Also means

anarchist

Usage Note

Libertario in Italian carries a strongly left-anarchist or anti-authoritarian connotation — it is not the same as American 'libertarian' (free-market, small government). In Italian political discourse, pensiero libertario evokes anarchist or far-left traditions. A learner translating 'libertarian' from English should be aware of this false-friend gap.

Examples

"Il movimento si ispira a ideali libertari."

Natural Translation

The movement draws on libertarian ideals.
