    why not, I plan on unironically going to a libertarian convention with this flag

    but I’m rly more anti auth than libertarian, I just belive in free trade as a right, but my other believes are pretty leftwing

      I don’t really consider libertarianism to be something you should be proud of,

        Depends if you’re a libertarian or a “libertarian”

        Most people who claim to be libertarian are just conservatives wearing a mask

        True libertarians aren’t as prevalent, and often get confused with anarchists

          What is the difference between Libertarian and anarchist in your mind? From my knowledge, Libertarian is a term coined because anarchists were persecuted

            In the most basic terms, I’d say anarchists want no state whereas libertarians are okay with a little bit of state

        Do you perchance live in the US? In other parts of the world libertarianism is a normal political ideology that opposed authoritarianism.

          No, but I do live in an english-speaking country that imports a lot of it’s meanings behind ideologies from the US.

            Ah, that’s understandable. From what I’ve heard about US “libertarians”, it’s definitely nothing to be proud of.

      Ever looked into libertarian socialism? I always considered myself left but some libertarian ideas vibed with me like anti government and self organization. Turns out left libertarians have all this but in a more coherent and humane way. “Anark” is a Youtuber with entry level videos and also long essays to deepen it.
