Incidentally, I stumbled on this while looking for a Marx quote about how representatives of the old feudal order falsely positioned themselves as allies to the lower classes by attacking the excesses of industrial capitalism. If anyone has that quote, please let me know.

    There’s too many fucking libertarian to monarchists in the pipeline. I think I’ve seen maybe one or two actual nobles with real titles who are monarchists that made me go “Okay it makes sense an actual prince would support an ideology aligning with his class interests.” But these random ass “I’m actually a knight without a fife” are total dipshits.

      The logical outcome of anarcho-capitalism would be neofeudalism (logical in the sense of how its internal logic would play out, not that it’s logical in the abstract sense).

        Oh for sure lmao. They inevitably land on monarchism or fascism (inb4 “you said the same thing twice”). I think you either grow out of libertarianism when you see something that goes too far (private prisons, age of consent, abolishing anti-racsim laws, etc.) or you continue down the Alt-Right pipeline.

          There’s a recurring theme of young’ns abandoning libertarianism when they first have to get a real job and suddenly discover they’re not actually on equal footing as their boss.
