She/her :blobcatheartlesbian: ex-software dev now writing words for money, fun, and/or survival. I like new people but may be too busy to follow back.

Republicans have campaigned on killing me and mine my whole life, so "Democrats are just as bad" crap gets a fuck off and an unfollow.

I write long-form on my Federated blog at @solarbird. If you want to support me or this instance, have my patreon: http://patreon.com/solarbird

I have a soft spot for Libertarians even though I shouldn't and they don't deserve it. When I was a kid I had a weird neighbor who was always giving me Libertarian books... I wish I still had some of them they were WILD. He was a thorn in the side of the local, school board as well insisting that if they had an event at the school that involved politics Libertarians had to be included.

And in defense of the guy, he was about as likable and earnest as a Libertarian could be.

@ehproque @futurebird Oh, I missed this one. No, I mean they drifted towards various subfactions of anarchism that I don't really remember well enough to identify anymore. I think one of them going on about it was part of how I ended up reading The Conquest of Bread, but that's kind of a foundational text as I understand it so not really helpful at identifying any particular subfaction.

@futurebird There was a real "left libertarian" movement. A lot of it was queer, and a lot of it died before AZT.

The survivors and most of the rest of it either went to the Democrats for survival, with a few going anarcho-leftist of one sort or another.

That left the "right libertarians" who no longer had to bargain with the left and, well, we know how that went.

@futurebird @ehproque and while I don't call myself an anarchist, I am, as you put it, "skeptical of concentrations of power," and definitely not limited to the state.

I had a lot of arguments with state-focused people and often made some inroads by talking about how non-state actors pick up characteristics of states as they gain power.
