Oh right, American libertarianism is the weird one that once corporate government or something. I nearly forgot that's a thing, around here libertarian is a socialist with anarchist leanings.
How does that work? Government helps the people but also doesn't exist?
Basically the idea is socialism would be implemented by smaller, local organizations with either no government or as limited a government as practically possible, depending on the exact strain of thought.
There are actually many different schools of socialist thought. Most people have only heard of a few because of US and Soviet propaganda. In fact many libertarian socialists consider countries like the USSR and China to be “state capitalist” countries that are only pretending to be socialist for propaganda purposes. Similar to how the US markets itself as a paradise for ordinary people while also subjecting them to various forms of oppression and poverty.
Yeah, there ARE left libertarians (of course I know him, he's me), but it's largely right-lib, and a non-trivial number of those are embarrassed republicans.
You might find camaraderie among anarchists, maybe not but could be worth looking into
Aye, I do, thank you
