A crudely drawn ms-paint-style comic. The first panel depicts a person with an ancap (anarcho capitalist) mask. The mask is black and yellow, the colors are divided diagonally. The person is saying “statist bootlickers fuck off!” to a boot. In the next panel, they are staring at the boot draw an amazon logo on it with a marker. The last panel shows the person deepthroathing the boot, saying “At least it’s not the gubermint [government”.
I find ancaps to be in the bigger fantasy land than the ancoms. Their ideas are disjointed from history and reality, nor do they have any good moral motivations (personal greed and profits) for them. I find it funny that they call normal people statist to make fun of them as a religious cult when most of their talking points are a tautology and one cannot question if a capitalist will every use their influence to harm others.
Also DOGE is the most relevant libertarian (inspired by ancap president of Argentina) policy and it sucks
This is local US issue. With your firepower, sure, nothing is local, but yet.
Finnish government is quite libertarian now, - it sucks, as any modern government, but it doesn’t suck like DOGE. It doesn’t suck like most. It’s actually ok-ish, as long as it doesn’t mess things up, and it doesn’t; it doesn’t do much besides allowing more alcohol in supermarkets and forbidding russians to cross the border at will to fuck things up. Borders are bullshit, but then it’s more like front line between us and totalitarian hell here.
Unless your definition of finish libertarianism is about unregulated capitalism you are speaking about something completely distinct.
It is unregulated capitalism. That’s the idea of the ruling party now. Of course, they are very limited in power.
Well I hope they don’t trash your systems under the idea that a private corp will do better for vague ideas about profit motive always being good.
They can’t; government here is mere servants of society. We’ve seen socialists dropping welfare when it was needed, now this libertarian government raised VAT. No matter what ideas drive the party, they actually listen to analytical people doing their math. And of course they’ll be replaced in a few years by some kind of reds (maybe with greens, maybe with something else), similarly powerless, as any government should be.
The only strong power in our politics is Swedish language party that always has 5-10%, any coalition, and just one line on agenda - swedish language. Awesome mockery of serious politics IMO (and at the same time more serious politics than most).
