Libertarians are fascists…

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago

Libertarians are morons in their own right but the core philosophy of libertarianism (in the political compass sense) is the opposite of authoritarianism, which is where fascism stems from. A group that doesn't want centralized government can't also want a centralized government that enforces sociopolitical ideology.

The more you throw around the word "fascist" to mean "anything right of me that I don't like" the more the word loses meaning and becomes like the "communist" rallying cry of the boomers.

Libertarians are also hypocrites that don’t follow their own ideologies.

True, but are they actual libertarians, then? Wouldn't they just be conservatives? You can call yourself whatever you want, actions are what define you.

Yeah, I was just being super cynical. The elected libertarians never seem like actual libertarians.
