    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.

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

                that a lack of government does not equal an increase in freedom, instead it just allows those with power to exert it more directly upon the less well off.

                  OK, how does that connect to the point of libertarian means a completely different thing in the US?
