Prehaps Libertarianism is not a 'two-way' movement like Nationalism as in determining what makes it right or wrong, but Libertarianism a 'two-way movement' because it has a compass, two oppisate ends. If you see what I mean.

Nationalism a two-way thing because it can be coined good or bad depending on how it is used. Whereas Libertarianism is a two-way thing not because it can be good or bad but because it has two opposing ideals, but are both good. Get me?
