    Your buying into the central assumption that their is such a thing as authoritarianism. All governments are authoritarian its a meaningless distiction in political economy.

    Right libertarianism is a bullshit ideology, because its just liberalism.

    The system that works better is just reality. Understanding that political economy is a single entity not separate axis

        Libertarianism is about maximizing autonomy and reducing or eliminating state power. The reasons why one might want those things, and the methods used to attain and maintain them make a distinction between left and right libertarianism.

        This is exactly my problem with the political compass and why i said it was bullshit to start with. You are defining libertarianism as an ideology that can only be described by the political compass. Methods and distictions that are only meaningful if you sunder the concept of political economy. That's why i said its only purpose is to make "right libertarianism" seem like a real ideology when its just liberalism

        What!? Are you claiming there is no such thing as authoritarianism?

          I've read this, I just think it's wrong. Marx isn't a god, he not everything he said is unquestionable truth.

            This wasn't written by Marx but by Engels, how closely did you actually read this?

            Basically, all bourgeois states are constantly "authoritarian" and any revolution against them must also be "authoritarian" (ie, it must use organized applications of force targeted at specific enemies)
