I hate that “Libertarianism” in US-english means those “free” market dumbasses.
It actually meant anarchist (anti-capitalist) originally and was a euphemism for anarchist when it was banned to be one. It still means that in French generally.
I mean, it’s not atypical for Americans to completely redefine a political definition so badly it loses all meaning. Just look at how most of us define our “leftist” leadership…
Idk I went to a public HS and we had a good coverage of the gilded age. Reflecting on that as I got older is a big part of why I moved away from thinking capitalism is good.
When you do it it’s tyranny…when we do its democracy manifesting freedoms. You see the difference? Your soldiers had kings, our soldiers have burger king, it’s eloquently simple when you think about it.
I mean, we have a political party called the “Republicans” and they’re really obsessed with giving their head honcho king-like authority. Everything over here makes no sense.

“liberal” meaning left is a decent example as well.
Yeah… Our education system isn’t big on political history, or really history in general.

Not anarchism but freedom of authority
