I think I fall somewhere in the "Mises Caucus Libertarianarchist" range. I like order and agree that there needs to be SOME social authority to maintain it. Our forefathers did a great job, their work was just bastardized to hell.

Idk if it’s such great work. We went from paying 2% tax on tea to nearly 50% tax on living.
Thats not what they created. Thats the bastardization of corporatism. Things need to be stripped back. WAAAAAY back. Start by ending the Fed and tar/feathering 530ish members of the swamp.
They started by establishing a constitution that people didn’t agree to. A constitution that talked about freedom for men that literally owned slaves lol
No serious adult anarchist or agorist thinks there should be no rules. The rules should be imposed in a way that they can reasonably be opted into or out of using purely voluntary means.
What percentage of American adults do you think are capable of articulating within 75% accuracy, what a "serious adult anarchist or agorist" believes politically?
You're not wrong, on a foundational level, but very few even understand the concept of a foundation.
Less than 5% and that’s probably generous. Regardless, people’s stupidity isn’t a good reason to not strive for freedom from an obvious racketeering system.
I think less than 5% understand libertarianISH policies, and less than 2% could come close to understanding yours.
My point is that you and I need not quibble over our trivial differences when we are pulling the same side of the rope. We both have to pull it all back a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way before either of us come close to where we want to be.
You’re not wrong. Our views probably align more than misalign.
To you it looks like we are pulling the same way because you see all the authoritarians on one side of you and nostr:nprofile1qqsytuv4el7t3jtjfm7zfrc9q730ked40806he7dx5uctxqk8j4hvfcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0qyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctvj8aavw and I on the other.
If you look at it like a giant tug of war, you are on the "have a state" side of the rope. You may not be pulling as hard, but you want the middle of the rope on the other side of the line painted on the ground than I do.
I don't think this is a no true Scotsman. The foundational principle I stand on is NO state. You are pro state so you oppose my views. It is the authoritarians who you stand on the same view with but quibble over degrees.
I'm here spreading the word and that is all I can say with certainty about the % who understand.
