Really? I don't think so at all. Libertarians are generally proponents of a whole swatch of changes that would knock large corporations in the US down a few pegs. That's in addition to greatly limiting the power corps have to do business by legislation.
- jbooth 16y agoWell, I'd say my picture of "what libertarians are proponents of" boils down to 3 categories or "levels of advocacy": 1) The "if we could remake the world", fully libertarian state -- I can see some libertarians agreeing with you about knocking corporations down a peg here, but many other "libertarians" that are basically supply-siders or mainline republicans with affectations that wouldn't. 2) The things libertarians actually advocate for as far as real-world policy, as in people lobby for these things and vote for candidates that espouse them. 3) The subset of those things that actually get traction Out of those, 3) winds up being an unabashedly pro-corporate set of policies advanced by the republican party and 2) actually seems to lean more pro-corporate than anti. YMMV. But I can see your point in regards to 1).
