The Crumbling E20 - Libertarianism - P1 - Mercantile? I'm MercanTIRED of This
Sophia, V, and Davin start a journey through the history of right
libertarianism (libertarian capitalism), starting with its ideological
forebears, and laying out some definitions. They discuss some of the
greatest sh*t-talkers in philosophical and political history - French
people in the 18th and 19th centuries. They discuss a bit of the history
of socialism, and how that relates to the inception of the word
"libertarian," as well as the birth of the word "capitalism." More
importantly, they totally don't do the song "AI SCREAM" by Japanese
idol group AiScReam. Totally never happens.
