Recognizing that humans are social animals leads us to understand and oppose how solitary confinement operates as a soul crushing form of psychological torture, depriving prisoners of the human contact that is essential to our flourishing. We support charity and mutual aid, and oppose all coercive interference with it. When governments jail people for feeding the homeless, when they imprison a man for sending money to his impoverished relatives, and when volunteers are arrested for providing life-saving humanitarian aid, libertarianism defends compassion and social cooperation from such callous coercion. studentsforliberty.org/blog/2014/12/26/libertarianism-and-social-cooperation/
