    It’s at least partially satire, because libertarians oppose the existence of “corporations” (in particular, llcs) in the modern sense. Corporations are antithetical to personal liberty.

        I know this is probably a joke, but this recurring joke is dumb. Libertarians disagree with Republicans on like half of political issues, and with Democrats on the other half. I invite anyone who doesn’t believe me to go check the Party platform.

          It doesn’t matter how Libertarians think. It matters who they caucus and vote with. They generally vote with Republicans. So their protests are irrelevant.

            I don’t know what you mean. The Libertarian Party runs its own candidates. Members of the Party generally vote for those candidates.

            During the Cold War before the Party existed and while it was still very young there was an idea called Fusionism that did involve libertarians and conservatives basically forming a truce, since they both saw the Soviet Union as the biggest problem at the time. But that time is over.

        My absolute favorite part of this exchange is the number of intellectually dishonest folk downvoting my comment and upvoting yours, as if we disagreed with each other.
