Libertarian comes into power

Is a fascist

surprised-pika

[–] LeopardShepherd@hexbear.net 125 points 1 year ago (20 children)

Gee, really interesting how libertarian reforms are extremely unpopular and can only be maintained by brutal state violence. Luckily they're a democracy and not authoritarian communists where the people have no say!

And he immediately and unsurprisingly just pushes the actual fascism button

He really just won the speed-run, huh?

Libertarians are 99% of the time just fascists

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago (43 children)

Yes, if you ask a libertarian what they think about unions and they say "that's fine, everybody can choose to associate and bargain within a free market" you might have found a real libertarian! Wow! You will almost never hear that though because they are all fascists

Ancaps are just fascists with a DLC skin

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 86 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Not a surprising turn of events. He just halved everyone's savings and on top of that drastically increased the cost of living for everyone as companies increase prices due to the currency devaluation.

The result of that being massive strike and protest action is entirely unsurprising.. As is a crackdown on it.

This will escalate much further very quickly.

On the bright side, the warlord era preceded communist China.

"What the fuck, I summoned libertarianism out of the frictionless void where it usually resides and it immediately oxidized into fascism on contact with air."

Wtf he can’t do that. That’s a violation of the NAP

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 50 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That's just because you don't understand the NAP. When you're NAPping you're supposed to find the original instigating aggression. How do you find that? Easy, you take the side you don't like and point at something they did that hurt your feelings.

Tear gassing protesters is just a legitimate response to the initial aggression of blocking traffic. But wait, isn't the blocking of traffic a response to the aggression the government did by throwing the country into poverty overnight? No it's not. Why? Because it just isn't.

So much for "small government"

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 64 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Libertarians are just fascists with nonce aesthetics.

Fascism is a bullshit ideology that only cares about the supremacy of the fascists themselves. Outside of that it has no real principles, only whatever ad hoc opinions will further their supremacy at the given moment. When someone is not amplifying their fascinating they will whine about much freeze peach, when protests challenge their grasp on power they will use every coercive measure of the state to repress it.
