      I have no problem with libertarians (as in libertarian socialists the original meaning of that word).

      I have a problem with whatever happened in the US when a bunch of capitalists took the word “Libertarian” to mean “Controlled by 5 rich corpos and lets legalise sex trafficking”, and everyone just went along with that word change.

        Being from Tx the second bit is what I grew up understanding libertarian to be and had in mind when I wrote the common. Bit of a force of habit I’ve been slowly changing; apologies for the slip up.

          Nah your not slipping up. Thats what libertarian means in the US.

          I just think we should reclaim the word.
