Libertarians are as bad or worse than the stereotypical lazy naive communist. Almost certainly worst for what they enable.
Wait, you mean to tell me the "fuck you, got mine" ideology is worse than the "sharing is caring" ideology? Hot take.
They haven’t even got theirs, they just think they would if there were no laws.
When you press them they always suggest they’ll live in a commune like community but with perfect capitalism.
And what exactly is “perfect capitalism“ anyway?
Well u seeeee, right now its CRONY capitalism. REALcapitalism Is SO much better, and we get rid of government and corporations can't make monopolies then! Then it will be great.
They actually want a king because they think democracy is stupid. As long as theyre the king, of course.
Housecats, 5 year olds. Libertarians are similar.
The "stereotypical lazy naive communist" isn't really a thing, outside of stereotypes. Communists tend to be some of the most involved and aware members of the working class.
No disagreement here.
Perhaps “stereotypical strawman communist” is better?
My point is they don’t exist as imagined.
Ah, gotcha. Agreed then!
