I guest Musk cant difference between anarchism and libertarianism

• krapp 1y ago
  To be fair, I've always considered libertarians to be, for the most part, anarchists who won't commit.

    This seems fair+true. "Libertarian anarchists" is like "jumbo olives".. they want to build their castles in the sky in a free-floating environment that is only free in the particular way that they want; violators will be persecuted. Anarchosyndicalism or GTFO. YMMV.

  “That's libertarians for you — anarchists who want police protection from their slaves.” - Kim Stanley Robinson

  I mean he's also very much not a libertarian. He's an apparatchik of an authoritarian government. That's pretty much the opposite of being a libertarian. (Pedantically, there's a lot of overlap between anarchists and left-libertarians, but the terms tainted enough now that no-one much really considers themselves a left-libertarian anymore.)
