Most "Libertarians" grow up as soon as they read any political theory, I personally became an Anarcho-Syndicalist
What are your views on sword-based governance?
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
Supreme executive power derives from a mandate of the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony
I'm glad we all agree you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
You'll be even more baffled when you read some history!
Yup, especially the histories of the FAI/CNT and how Spain could have been Anarcho-Syndicalist (for a time Catalonia was). In addition popular Syndicalist movements in France and the Anarchist black army in Ukraine could have gone very differently.
This kinda insult is just lazy. Right-wingers say "I used to be left wing then grew up when I read economics", left-wingers say the same in inverse. The real answer is just that you had views that were based on an intuition or something, then you read stuff interrogating those views, realized that may align more with your values and changed your mind. That doesn't mean that there aren't people with different values than you, or people who now disagree with you are all the same as you.
