I've never heard of any libertarians that were against "worker strikes", that would be very much against the core tenets. I also don't see any evidence that libertarians are industrialists. The only statistics I found showed that libertarians were about as rich as democrats on average, or a bit less. Anyways, HN is not the place for political debates so I'm out!

We’re talking about “libertarian think tanks” and university-affiliated “libertarian institutes”, which are predominantly funded by billionaire industrialists.
