Do any of them know what the word “liberal” actually means?

      There’s only one axis on the political spectrum, and everyone left of Biden (a rightwinger) is a tankie, isn’t this obvious?

        No, they call themselves Libertaire. Libertaire was adopted by french anarchists at the end of the 19th century when anarchist publications were banned from France. Sadly, as Americans do, the word was misused and transformed by Milton Friedman, on the behalf of oil companies, and later that failed actor named Ayn Rand, to described unabashed, unregulated, capitalism and corporatism.

        No anarchist worth it’s salt would ever use the word libertarian instead of Libertaire.

            Yeah I don’t think you know anything about anarchism as political theory if you think it has anything to do with corporatism and capitalism. I’d suggest you pickup some theory and brush up on working class history.
