    Real libertarianism looks more like anarchism. There’s no strong central body (neither government or corporation), community helps each other, total personal liberty, etc. Political anarchism is generally “lib-left” on a political compass while classical libertarianism is “lib-right”.

    As a tangent, I very much dislike the ambiguous words we chose for the political compass, they have usage that could indicate so many different things on their own. For example, if I saw someone referring to republicans as “lib-right”, I’d say no shit because both parties in the US are liberal political parties.

      Libertarianism is not opposed to the existance of a government – in fact, libertarianism is founded upon the idea that a government is necessary.
