I’m fully aware of the keys to power that you are referring to, and I agree the main struggle would be to get society as a whole to realize and remember that they hold power over those keys and that the keys have convinced the populous of the reverse

Don’t you understand they’re the bad word gang and you don’t want to be associated with the gad word gang that I think is bad because it’s bad. Now let me ignore this other label that applies to me because I don’t want to understand that it’s worse bad. /S

the word libertarian literally does mean what I’m telling you though . What your experiencing is that your personal definition is not matching up with everyone else’s reality. You’ve just been misinformed and have only been exposed to a subset of libertarian ideals . To put this in an analogy it’s like if I said truck and you assumed I was talking about a Ford F-350 when in fact I’m referring to all trucks. From tiny k trucks to 18 wheeler big rigs

You either like authority or you don’t. That’s binary. How much you like or dislike it is the spectrum.

Oh I’m fully aware. I’m not a socialist though. I still think capitalism is the best model for innovation it’s just the current system is geared to fuck the small mom and pop and only benefit massive conglomerations. If I was hypothetically in charge I would fully cut corporate welfare and redirect all of that directly to proper funding of essential services and safety nets and infrastructure. If your company requires government handout money to run, it should go under. That’s the capitalism I want to see.

And this is why I am a minarchist ultimately, we know that there must be a monopoly on violence, preferably that would be held by a state of elected peers that can be impeached for transgressions against the public trust. I am 100% personally for protections and social safety nets, a strong system to protect and enrich the lives of citizens so that they can be productive and have better outputs in the long run benefits all of us. And it turns out it’s generally cheaper to fix problems then let them fester and rot.

Personally, I would love modern societies bring back banishment as a punishment for being a corrupt official. Imagine if election day lets you vote somebody out of the country for being a huge dick head and a detriment to your life and rights.

I’m not him, but technically anybody who isn’t an authoritarian is a libertarian. Economic theory is Left Right. Freedom is up down. It’s a spectrum.

Though apparently I’m one of the minority libertarians as I believe in egotistical altruism. Caring about the planet etc.

there are also people like me who are in the middle and think both the left and right have valid economic points and arguments but that authoritarian rule is gross.
Libertarianism is a spectrum just like authoritarianism.

Hi, I’m actually the guy you’re trying to respond to but yes that is exactly what I was trying to State

Be the change you want to see

Brother you seem lost I’m saying that’s how people should act if they want to have a positive impact on their society

You seem to have an entirely separate definition of what egotistical altruism means from how most other people understand the concept. In its simplest form it’s just doing good unto others so they can live more productive better lives as more of their needs are met by community support.

Special snowflake syndrome.

This is America we are discussing. On a worldwide political spectrum. Sure, definitely to the right of the central line but from the American perspective that’s as left as it gets.

I’m not the guy you’re replying to and I am interested to hear his response, but also I’d like to point out that you jumped to conclusions faster than Superman can jump over a building. But hey what do I know? I’m just a libertarian minarchist. Personally, almost all of your purity tests are repugnant from my point of view.

Maybe you should look into egotistical altruism.

Yeah you’re right. I was for some reason conflating the USSR invading Hungary

It’s a political slang word. It refers to those who support leftist authoritarian regimes such as communist, China. Regimes where the state can do no wrong and the people do all the wrong so the state must step in to crush the people and “protect them” from dangerous, Western and capitalist ideas. Pretty sure the name derives from the 1989 tiananmen square incident.
