Anarcho-capitalist libertarianism

[HeyItsZeus]

I suppose it is a misconception.

I'm a capitalist, a left wing capitalist if you will. I'm going to admit, whether it be out of my ignorance or not, anarchy scares me. I feel secure with big brother as long as big brother is kind and caring. Democracy is nice because it let's you change and pick your big brother. Libertarianism takes the assumption that big brother is not necessary, or as necessary as people like myself think he is which from what I can pull together is completely false. That's how I make my assertion.

For me, as long as a democracy is in place, regulated capitalism is the way to go.

You're now falsely equating libertarianism with anarchism...

Libertarianism does advocate the role of government to protect the rights and sovereignty of individuals, they would exist to defend the nation from external threats, punish those who would force another person to do something against their will, those who neglect their social and contractual responsibilities and obligations and those who are fraudulent in they deliberately lie or mislead to convince someone to do something that they would not have done were they fully informed.

This would involve a government with at minimum a military, a police force, a legislative branch, a judicial system, a prison system, some environmental policing and something similar to the SEC for financial fraud and contractual violations.

So libertarianism is regulated capitalism?

Could it be possible I'm a libertarian?
