I'm a Libertarian Socialist. I want to do what I want to do and I want the government to pay for it. Works for billionaires!

I am also a libertarian socialist and anarchist, but many people confuse it for American libertarianism, which at one time was good, but is now co-opted by QAnon incels and ostracized conservatives. People here will confuse the two and will downvote you hard out of pure ignorance, simply because the word “libertarian” that they’ve seen other misinformed people wrongly lump into the same boat as “bad” or “nazi” and think you’re in the same category.
It's a tactic of the propaganda machine to redefine and demonize our semantic.
2012 was a bad time.
Doublespeak is real and good. I love my libertarian capitalism just like I love my public safety officers and my right to work states and my rules based liberal international order. Liberty! Whiskey! Sexy! These are the tenants of a righteous, free, and - most importantly - godly nation.
If we just work hard enough and remain honest and forthright and vigilant against the horrors of evil foreign manipulations, every man can live like a king! Work Will Set Us Free! That is why we must keep the truth always within our hearts - that better days are coming if we all just work together towards the ideal individuality. So gather round, my beautiful brilliant diligent future millionaires, and repeat after me:
Welcome to Costco, I love you.
This is too fucking accurate and I'm both pleased and upset simultaneously. Thank you.
The only direction the “invisible hand” pushes is down.
Isn't that just Anarcho capitalism?
I think it usually means night-watchman capitalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night-watchman_state
I'll admit i don't really know what libertarians claim to want or belive in. Like aren't they just unpopular republicans?
They're mask-on anarcho-capitalists.
They used to be weirdo republicans but than the republican party became universally more weird than them.
They were never Republicans. The Republican Party split post-Trump loss and a bunch of them infested the Libertarian party.
