Left wing (actual OG) Libertarianism is great. Right wing Libertarianism is basically a bunch of antisocial/intellectually lazy people who think the ideal society is one where everybody has a few acres of land with a little shack that they built themselves where they subsist on potatoes, carrots, and chicken eggs and stockpile gold and silver to trade with another libertarian twice a year.
That description looks too close to some videogame.
I consider myself pretty left (at least in comparison to the average German), but that lifestyle sounds quite tempting to me. I'd skip chicken though.
