libertarianism was made a semi mainstream ideology by european philosophers of the 18th and 19th centuries. it never really took off here but the yanks seemed to really like it, i think the founding fathers were heavily influenced by it with their constant references to all things liberty.

most importantly though, the philosophers that advocated libertarianism were not laissez faire capitalists. that's a relatively new phenomenon.

What a good non-answer.

Want me to spell it out for you? Libertarianism is not limited to laissez faire capitalism

Par for someone who calls themselves a libertarian socialist: not understanding socialism.

I'm not a libertarian socialist I was telling a joke

Whoever implied that it was?

You

I would like that actually

You're an idiot and always will be
