The Tao Te Ching was libertarian like 2,500 years before libertarianism became a thing.
Chapter 75: Stephen Mitchell translation:
When taxes are too high,
people go hungry.
When the government is too intrusive,
people lose their spirit.
Act for the people's benefit.
Trust them; leave them alone.
Derek Lin translation is a good one too: https://terebess.hu/english/tao/DerekLin.html#Kap75
