It's been a while since I even bothered arguing with libertarians, but wouldn't they just point to Hong Kong and South Korea?

Hong Kong which currently lives under an authoritarian regime, or South Korea which is a somewhat participatory executive democracy birthed from the corpse of an authoritarian regime?

Neither is a hot spot of libertarianism. South Korea is peak neo-liberalism.

South Korea is peak neo-liberalism.

Lol is this a joke? South Korea that's essentially a US military colony at this point? Yeah, totally libertarian.
