    Its sad how tainted the idea of liberalism has become in some places. Outside the US libertarianism is seen more as the support of personal freedoms of people rather than corporations.

    For anyone unfamiliar, that’s the Anarcho-capitalism flag. It’s basically libertarianism, the biggest difference is that they call themselves anarcho-capitalist instead of libertarians. Maybe because the American libertarian party is bat-shit crazy, and I can see not wanting to be associated with that despite having similar beliefs.

      to me it’s the same as the Marxist-Leninists who claim they don’t support Stalin as if the guy before was any better

        He was better, in such minor regards as legalizing homosexuality, not that a blahaj user would be interested in that.

        Probably didn’t make the enemies of state feel better mining gravel though.

          What do you mean by “not that a blahaj user would be interested in that”?

      Also, the guy is Daigo Dojima from the Yakuza series and is the mob boss for the Tojo Clan which at one point had 30,000 members and controled the Kanto region of Japan.

      Libertarians will use the same flag (partly because Rothbard both took credit for coining and later denounced the anarcho part, partly because they don’t know what things mean), and there are significant differences. Primarily that basic bitch “libertarians” think a state can exist to build roads and run fire departments.
