      I’m not in the US, no, but am intimately familiar with most of the terms, themes and national level events as I’ve been following and debating thoroughly for half my so far 40 years lol, so you don’t have to worry about me not getting it 🙂

      They aren’t confusing the terms. It’s just that “libertarians” in the US are largely viewed as right-wing anti-authority, whereas on the global stage, they’re kindof like normal anarchist-lite. If you say, “well that’s not very specific”, then yes that’s correct.

          They still aren’t confusing the terms. They made it very clear where they were coming from and now it’s been clarified further.

          Do not demand that the discussion be as ignorant as you were at the start of it. That’s pathetic.

        No that’s incorrect. The are right wing as in market liberal but also anti-authorian.

        I get the impression that people write different things on their compass but mean the same thing.
