re: This is probably a dumb question, but why is Neo-Nazism considered right wing?

That's because Libertarianism is a great philosophy but a shitty form of government.

bullshite, it actually works in practice everyday.

Control yourself reasonably, and don't shite on your fellow man. That's it's government.

If you wanted to kill someone, there is almost no chance of it getting stopped, why don't you? Consequences? Ethics?
Do you think the absence of an over arching state control would stop retribution? It doesn't.
No, you govern yourself, albeit sometimes poorly.

Edit: was looking at wrong President, I been out of school for a long time, but I’m genuinely curious on all of this.

Our US education system and you don't even know who was President in WWII?

But we want to teach CRT and Transgender Tolerance instead.

I am going to type a paragraph from a book:

The biggest source of disbelief of the Holocaust is sheer ignorance of many people (Americans in Particular) about history in general , and WWII history in particular. American education in the past 20 years has deemphasized the study of history.

The is result is that many younger "educated" Americans are woefully ignorant about details of American, and world, history. You will find college-educated Americans who only have a vague idea what WWII was. This is particularly true of the electronic media, where the "producers" (those who do the legwork of digging up the material to be broadcast) are usually the product of this deficient education. What they don't know doesn't get broadcast, or gets sent over the air inaccurately.

And that was written 31 years ago... My gosh who our education system may have crumbled since then.

No offense to you sir... as I am not directing this to you, but a generality... There are people that actually believe that Chocolate Milk comes from brown cows... Yet they are allowed to Vote at 18... and have babies that vote.

a state government dictating things like abortion, gay marriage, etc… ISNT actually small government.

As soon as we see an American government forcing unwilling women into abortion and forcing straight folks into same-sex marriages, I will agree with you wholeheartedly.

abortion

Violates the NAP

gay marriage

---

You mean..."state sponsored marriage"


You are falling pray to the pitfalls of red vs blue, and I ain't talking about Halo

Marraige as far as property rights are concerned is pretty important.

In a perfect libertarian word there are very few reason the government would need to recognize a marriage, but a large portion of the population does intestate. The law needs to recognize spouses.

property rights

What is a property right?

Did you know a contract will do the exact same thing, as well as a POA?

That’s what libertarians who are actually just conservatives want to tell themselves.

Property rights is the difference between Libertarianism and Anarchism.

Local government is government.

Big and small is about the size of control over Your life not how much territory it controls.

It’s only Slightly better because it’s slightly easier to move to a new state than a new country’s

Authoritarians think that government should answer every question. Anarchists think that government should never answer any question. Sane people see a middle ground. Libertarians (by and large) see no problem with the people (acting thru government) setting a "default," so long as the individual may override that default.

abortion ... Violates the NAP

Approximately 1/3 of libertarians agree with you, and about 2/3 disagree.

What makes libertarians unique is that this split does not bother most of us very much.

Libertarians tend to understand that bright people acting in good faith can come to different conclusions on philosophical questions.

Right. And lack of government is anarchy. Literally the goal of communism. So pure libertarianism and pure communism have the same goal, I guess. Except they don't. There is a distinct difference. And in libertarianism, there is the NAP to worry about and who enforces that? Utopianism doesn't get you liberty.
