  • Capitalism

    Libertarians want businesses to have complete freedom to operate, believing this will make them ethical.

    Hierarchy

    Libertarians believe in keeping a hierarchy, the billionaires will still be above you in life.

    Individualism

    Libertarians generally don’t want to work together, but to be left alone. Anarchism even individualist anarchism still promotes working together as an ideal.

    Fun historical fact: Libertarian is the original name for anarchism. The US right co-opted it, same as they try to do with Anarcho-Capitalism. You will still find people on the left calling themselves social libertarians.





  • The voting process was started not by an admin but a user.

    You are 100% misrepresenting what happened with the communities vote to push your biased narrative that it was undemocratic.

    And the staff are allowed to have their own opinions. They do not need to be stoic bastions of neutrality, they’re members of the site and get to argue their position as much as anyone else.

    Matter of fact is the majority of the community voted in favour of defederation, and not one user has proposed a vote for refederation.

    You may not like the result, but it was a 100% fair and open form of governance.





  • What bias was done in the voting? People voted and it was tallied up.

    The admins can hold whatever view they want, and they can try to state their case as much as they want, as can every other user, what matters is the overall community vote. Which voted to defederate.

    That was entirely democratic, you’re being entirely dishonest and in bad-faith here.

    Oh and Animal Farm was written by someone who fought for Anarchists in Spain, and supports Anarchism. It’s a rebuttal of the authleft, not anarchism.



  • Because the citizenry are disempowered, they have delegated their social obligations to institutions to handle it for them and thus hold no stake in what happens.

    They view the result of politics as something that happens to them rather than something they influence, and frankly they’re right. We elect representatives who maybe hold one or two values we want, yet constantly act out of our own interests.

    The only true democracy that can last is a direct democracy where everyone votes on the issues they want too.
