    Yea, that’s what I meant. In the rest of the world libertarian is still a left wing ideology with no connection to ancaps.

        Libertarianism is a anti capitalist, socialist and very left wing ideology everywhere except in the US where it apparently has been co-opted by insane people with the opposite beliefs.

          I have the feeling you don’t know what libertarianism is, or you are one of the guys who dosn’t understand the consequences of your actions

              so you fall into the camp of not knowing the consequences.

              the issue inherently is that the power imbalance of stuff like wealth inequality, coupled with material conditions, always end up curtailing the freedoms of those who are not on top, ironically making them less free (bit of an irony, eh?)

                Not sure what consequences you are talking about or what you are even arguing about. I agree with the second paragraph as would most libertarian outside the US so I’m like double confused.

                  Not sure what consequences you are talking about

                  my point exactly, and no libertarians outside the USA still advocate for low government interference
