    Libertarianism didn’t change into it’s current form, the term was simply co-opted by the right. It used to mean anarchism.

    Which is another term these people tried to claim by calling themselves “anarcho-capitalists” as if such a thing made any sense.

      Wrong, but it doesn’t really matter, what matters is dorks like Milei have abandoned everything that makes actual libertarianism libertarian in favor of sucking off billionaires and cryptofascists and they’re not coming back from it.

      Vaguely aware “libertarians” that don’t actually know anything and think socialism is when the government does stuff can be allies, Argentina’s government can not.
