Don’t forget the homeschooled kids that go straight into their family business.

The left libertarian space understands this. In fact if you’re on reddit chances are you fall somewhere in the left libertarian quadrant of the political compass.
But you know… misunderstanding labels makes you cool I guess.

Libertarian philosphy: “I’ve got mine. Fuck you.”

Also include, subsidized food, fuel/energy, highways to facilitate interstate commerce, public works like clean water/wastewater treatment, the list is of things the government provides is huuuuuuuge. Good luck getting a libertarian to admit that though.
Without government, they would be able to read or write, the most basic of knowledge one needs to be in any way successful in life.

Meanwhile the UNSEEN HAND is giving them an unseen fisting.

Missing the copy of Fountainhead, but has the lack of self awareness.

Libertarianism has become synonymous with pure greedy ignorance.

My sister’s husband is a die hard Libertarian.
“I did this all on my own!”
His parents are upper working class, retired on union pensions.
He got a free ride to a state flagship college on a football scholarship. He got a master’s in 5 years (so, he did work hard at that).
He worked a white collar job for a bit and then started a trash pickup company. He brags that the reason his company is successful is because he takes advantage of a loophole in how he registers his trash trucks. Since he does bulk pickup instead of door-to-door, he doesn’t have to pay road fees and his dump fees are much lower.
He and his wife lived on food stamps and Medicaid for more than a decade because they were both underemployed. They still take Medicare money for my cousin who has a severe learning disability.
His parents also gave him a half-million-dollar payment as collateral on the loan for his first three trucks, and he took both state and federal bailouts in COVID when his revenue stopped.
He bought a Porsche GT3 last summer with his kids’ college funds because “they need to earn their own way. I did it without help- they can do.”

My favorite part is watching them reinvent government when you ask them about how they would enforce the person contracts they love so much.
