Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here. (lemmy.world)

My point was that anarchism is not compatible with capitalism because capital is a form of hierarchy.

And I read your post. Yes, tea party libertarians ultimately lean more big government authoritarian than strict libertarians should.

But libertarians aren't anarchist because they ultimately use the power of money and privilege to create hierarchy and control others. They just don't want democracy (i.e. governments) interfering in that power.

That's not anarchy but feudalism.

That's exactly what I've been saying... that is why they cannot call themselves libertarians. It's a corruption of what the term means.
