Of course the really juicy contradiction in their claims that their ideology is about Liberty is that Money and Ownership are actually restrictions on every else’s freedom - you literally can’t go into the land somebody owns withour their authorization and money can at will stop you from getting other resources you need by outbidding you.
Maybe the single greatest scam that Libertarians have played on everybody, especially the “Modern” Left, was to overload everybody with meaningless discussions and focus on Effects rather than Causes, to the point of silencing the much older discussions and thinking about Money and of Ownership as the greatest forms of Power and Control Over Others in the modern age.

Kinda hilarious how they seem to want no control structures in their way so that they can run their own specific control structure.

They essentially just want a return to feudalism, but they know that would get them laughed out of any serious discussions, so they dress it up as “economic liberty”

At least feudalism would be honest about it’s exploitation.
