Let me guess - that way you're a mile away, and you have their shoes?
I'm socially libertarian and fiscally communist
That's just an anarchist.
That's the joke.
Anarchism is often called libertarian socialism.
an anarcho communist to be exact
whats a libertarian im not usaian
the word libertarian comes from anarchists (eg. libertarian socialists) however right wing anarchists (anarcho capitalists) have claimed the term, so now a libertarian is a right wing anarchist
I still don't believe that anarcho-capitalists exist. The ideology just loops back into fascism most of the time.
If they use the term themselves, it's just a synonym then
I see it more like feudalism with extra steps
A rebrand, if you will

Capitalist anarchism doesn't exist. Capitalism is a form of unjust hierarchy (or if you want to stick to the literal meaning of “anarchism”: capitalism is a way to create rulers)
There are capitalist anti-statists, bit being against states isn't sufficient to make you an anarchist for above reasons.
Capitalism is a form of unjust hierarchy
It's a form of hierarchy through economic accumulation. The problem of justice is in the privative accumulation. When we start the game playing from a stacked deck, only a handful of people ever have an opportunity to accumulate new capital, while the rest of us are bound to serve through debt.
Leveling the playing field allows people to accumulate within their lifetimes, and incentivizes capital development broadly, without allowing intergenerational accumulation to stagnant the system.
But wealth redistribution is incredibly unpopular among the people with the most political capital, necessitating some kind of social or economic revolution to achieve change.
I say co-opt it back to its original leftist roots. I don't mind calling myself a libertarian instead if I'm talking to a right winger who's scared of anarchists and then just say "the socialist kind". It's a conversation starter to introducing a right winger to how one can believe a market free from capitalists (the best kind of free market) is actually not the worst idea ever

In my heart, i am a libertarian.
In my brain, im not stupid enough to believe that the general public is smart enough to make it work.
I'm just not stupid enough to believe the general public gives anywhere near enough of a shit about anyone else than themselves to make it work.
(Actually, I was stupid enough to believe that once. I went through a librarian phase in my 30s.)

Please. Libertarians can always afford WAY more expensive shoes than that
Well, they might look like clown shoes but, I'll have you know, they cost $5,000
Who's the clown now?
