Let me guess - that way you're a mile away, and you have their shoes?
I walked my late teens/early twenties in those shoes. Would not recommend.
What did we do to you :(
I'd personally rather align more with libertarianism than authoritarianism. But hey, different strokes for different folks.
Don't you understand they're the bad word gang and you don't want to be associated with the gad word gang that I think is bad because it's bad. Now let me ignore this other label that applies to me because I don't want to understand that it's worse bad. /S
Please. Libertarians can always afford WAY more expensive shoes than that
whats a libertarian im not usaian
American Libertarianism is all about minimizing governmental oversight, regulation, and taxation. Basically people who already "got theirs" and want to pull the ladder up behind them so no one else can. Sovcits are like extremist libertarians.
Some of them are so stupid that they never even "got theirs." But they see people who look different than them getting things that they didn't get, and they can't abide that...
True, true. They did get all the benefits of public infrastructure though, they just don't want to help pay to maintain it.
the word libertarian comes from anarchists (eg. libertarian socialists) however right wing anarchists (anarcho capitalists) have claimed the term, so now a libertarian is a right wing anarchist
I still don't believe that anarcho-capitalists exist. The ideology just loops back into fascism most of the time.
There is no critique of capitalism so it’s incompatible with anarchism.
They’d be actual anarchists if they didn’t conflate capitalism with markets.
I see it more like feudalism with extra steps
If they use the term themselves, it's just a synonym then
A rebrand, if you will
Capitalist anarchism doesn't exist. Capitalism is a form of unjust hierarchy (or if you want to stick to the literal meaning of “anarchism”: capitalism is a way to create rulers)
There are capitalist anti-statists, bit being against states isn't sufficient to make you an anarchist for above reasons.
Capitalism is a form of unjust hierarchy
It's a form of hierarchy through economic accumulation. The problem of justice is in the privative accumulation. When we start the game playing from a stacked deck, only a handful of people ever have an opportunity to accumulate new capital, while the rest of us are bound to serve through debt.
Leveling the playing field allows people to accumulate within their lifetimes, and incentivizes capital development broadly, without allowing intergenerational accumulation to stagnant the system.
But wealth redistribution is incredibly unpopular among the people with the most political capital, necessitating some kind of social or economic revolution to achieve change.
I say co-opt it back to its original leftist roots. I don't mind calling myself a libertarian instead if I'm talking to a right winger who's scared of anarchists and then just say "the socialist kind". It's a conversation starter to introducing a right winger to how one can believe a market free from capitalists (the best kind of free market) is actually not the worst idea ever
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
