    There is only one solution to right wing authoritarian populism and that’s left wing libertarian populism.

    Europe really needs to get over cold war red scare propaganda.

        You got it the wrong way around. Left libertarianism (which is now commonly called anarchism) has been going strong for at least a century (and likely has its roots way back in indigenous people organizing themselves) until Rothbard and his ghouls took over the term for their shitty ideology in the 60s.

        Food for thought: How do you think people organized themselves before some white dudes had thoughts about monarchies.

        But you can always dream of a hierarchical structure that magically does not oppress its weakest members or corrupts its leadership if that is your cup of tea.

          Being left libertarian in the usa is always a fun conversation with others, especially in a extremely conservative state. Generally I don’t even use the term due to the confusion.

      There is never only one solution to complex problems and it is certainly not some new combination of political phrases
