    I was explaining what the Libertarian Party wanted to my daughter and she said she didn’t understand why anyone would want a country like that. I told her that virtually no one else does either, which is why Libertarians almost never get elected.

      They want a lot of horrible things and a lot of good things. Obviously the capitalist parts are disgusting but at least they dont support genocide (which sadly in this year is extremely rare).

        They support a genocide of the poor. One that involves letting them starve to death due to the total lack of social services.

          Thats to be expected in American politics, I was referring to the fact that at least that dont support the military or funding Israel. Also genocide of the poor is entirely the fault of capitalism and you cant vote that away.

            “As long as they don’t support the genocide I care about, the genocide they would allow to happen because capitalism is fine.” Gotcha. You do realize that their idea of capitalism where that happens is only what they want, hence my point.

            Very few other people are saying there should be absolutely zero social services and near zero taxation. Just them. That is just death to the poor.
