I'd personally rather align more with libertarianism than authoritarianism. But hey, different strokes for different folks.

Um... Libertarianism is authoritarianism just with corporations replacing the state.

Libertarianism and authoritarianism are opposite ends of the same spectrum. If two hypothetical societies are heavily authoritarian and equally so, then they are both authoritarian. Libertarianism emphasizes personal autonomy and individual freedom. It is by definition non-authoritarian. Libertarian concepts extend from the left to the right.

Don't you understand they're the bad word gang and you don't want to be associated with the gad word gang that I think is bad because it's bad. Now let me ignore this other label that applies to me because I don't want to understand that it's worse bad. /S
