    We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.

    Democracy dies in the free market.

        anarcho-capitalist libertarian utopia?

        I hate that edgelord libertarians are trying to rebrand themselves as “anarcho-capatalist”. Anarchy and capitalism are antithetical to one another. It doesn’t have anything to do with anarchy if you aren’t evaluating hierarchy, and capitalism is literally one of the most hierarchical organizational structures possible.

          Fun fact: Conservatism was literally invented by a monarchist in the aftermath of the French revolution trying to find a way for an aristocracy to exist within democracy.

          Actually, American style " libertarianism" IS anarcho-capitalism. They’ve just been trying to keep that a secret until recently.

          Anarchy and capitalism are antithetical to one another.

          Yes, and no. Anarcho-capitalism is anarchic in the colloquial “no rules, no order” sense, whereas political anarchy very much isn’t.

          The stupidity of the term is what makes it apt, though: the people politically illiterate enough to think that a total lack of regulations and worker’s rights would lead to anything resembling freedom also think that the colloquial definition of anarchy is the politically accurate one.
