A US libertarian who is genuinely anti-war has a more noble cause than most of what passes for "Left" in US politics. Really says a lot.
Most libertarians I know are juuuuust smart enough to get that massive corporate greed and oligarchies are the major problems with the US and that the government is tied to that but not smart enough to understand what capitalism truly is and how it truly works. Because they have that "well if everyone was a capitalist and no one group was ever able to get too powerful" bullshit. They still think capitalism is still just "I buy and sell things." And it's combined with the infantile anarkiddies ideals of "all guberment bad." So they will have these occasionally good takes where the realize the horrors and evil of capitalism but not the cause of any actual real solution against it.
Y'know what, if everyone was a capitalist it would resolve the class contradiction. /s
To make everyone a capitalist, the libertarian government should make everyone own a share of the company they work at. We can call these companies 'worker co-ops'. Once all US companies are co-ops, then everyone will control the corporations collectively.
This is peak libertarianism, it just happens to look a lot like communism.
