      The message is step on me and get bit. Traditionally it’s an anarchist symbol encouraging unity and brotherhood among the colonies in defiance of the crown.
      But just like many other things it has been misinterpreted and misused by fascists.

          Firstly, that’s how you become identified as an anarcho-capitalist. Secondly, I’m a libertarian Minarchist. Aka Classical Liberal. Not a confused Republican

              Yellow and black equals Libertarian Black and red equals Anarchy capitalism or at least that’s how it used to work back on Reddit

              Oh don’t get me wrong. My party has a shit reputation because it’s been infiltrated on purpose and turned into a mockery of itself.

              Classical liberalism is a political tradition and a branch of liberalism that advocates free market and laissez-faire economics and civil liberties under the rule of law, with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech. Classical liberalism, contrary to liberal branches like social liberalism, looks more negatively on social policies, taxation and the state involvement in the lives of individuals, and it advocates deregulation.

              Mind you I’m not saying the government is useless. I’m just saying there are some things that shouldn’t be regulated that are excessively stupidly regulated. There are other things that need more regulation. It’s a balancing act.

                I find Nozick’s minimal state interesting. He seems to want to entrust violence to a state. How would such a system prevent the minimal state from forming monopolies or cartels by which the ruled give up economic and political freedom?
