A lot of people point a finger at me and call me a Libertarian, I'd like to take a moment to explain a few things. I am not a Libertarian. I do vibe many things about Libertarians, mostly their strong distaste for government, but thats about as far as it goes.
Yes I was and still am a supporter of Ron Paul, ex libertarian, although some will say despite the fact that he is now a Republican that he is at heart still a libertarian. I view Ron Paul as the lesser of two evils, or rather the lesser of multiple evils.
I am, and have been for over 10 years, an anarchist. I'd like to explain the difference in a short summery anarchist view vs libertarian view.
Anarchist
-Capitalism creates hierarchy and oppression. Socialism would be more egalitarian.
-The state protects and promotes capitalism.
-We must rid ourselves of the state so that we can get rid of capitalism and become truly socialist.
Libertarian
-The state taxes my profits, and doesn't let me exploit people as much as I could otherwise.
-The state takes my taxes and uses them for stupid socialist programs.
-We must rid ourselves of the state so that we can get rid of socialism and become truly capitalist.
Doing away with capitalism is the goal, fuck the Tea Party, fuck them so hard, don't buy into their shit.
