Don't be fooled by libertarians / an-caps, they are not going to bring you a democracy! Their real world experiment brought only low-wage sweatshops and repressions.

The Ciskei experiment: a libertarian fantasy in apartheid South Africa
www.theguardian.com
external-link
The long read: In the 1980s, South African libertarians set up a deregulated zone that they sold to the world as ‘Africa’s Switzerland’. It was a sham, but with its clusters of sweatshops, it was very modern – and in some ways it anticipated the world we live in today

    Supporting capitalism is inherently heirarchical. These people are the national socialist version of anarchists.

      horrors of apartheid not bothered libertarians too much

      An-Caps are just neo-feudalists, where right to rule is granted by being a successful capitalist, rather than divine mamdate.

      EDIT: That should have read “divine mandate” but it’s funnier this way.

        National socialists weren’t socialists, either

          Keeping up the pattern: The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea isn’t democratic, isn’t a republic, and don’t do shit for the people.

          “The United States of America” is left as an exercise for the student in the creative use of naming to conceal truths.
