   I'm so confused by right-wing libertarians.

   The state enforces capitalism, there is no opting out. Forced participation in the capitalist nation state’s economy isn’t liberty. How do they not see that as oppressive in terms of their individualist claims about freedom from an oppressive government?

      @omanreagan Libertarianism on the right is a pretty incoherent ideology. It contains a vague notion of having individual freedom, but its adherents seem to hand wave over any inconvenient details such that their interpretation of freedom essentially becomes "the freedom to oppress and subjugate others".
