I was going to effort post but I’d be curious to see what other people think first. It seems to me that the state capitalism of the neoliberal left/right parties in the West, is in many ways even worse than libertarianism would be (and I’m assuming here that without the bipartisan bulwark, libertarianism would be a more likely outcome than fascism). Not only are there a number of libertarian ideals that have some crossover with us (drug legalisation, gun rights, dismantling the military industrial complex, at least some individual freedoms), but libertarianism would likely destroy the middle class, and thus end the middle class orientation of society whereby anyone below that income is completely marginalised (can’t afford a hotel; can’t afford to go to a restaurant; etc. Whilst libertarianism would likely reduce working class access to consumer goods, these kinds of social costs would probably decrease even relative to wages for many people) The destruction of the middle class would also create far better conditions for revolution. It seems like what we have now is the worst system, apart from fascism, that is possible - government is simply an extension of bourgeois power, and taxation goes to things like policing the working class, upholding the middle class and enforcing foreign imperialism.
