Anarchism- the elimination of all government. In a tribal world, our ancestors, this was the way of life. The blood that flows through us today flowed through humans that were anarchists. Every one of them. Problems were immediate, obvious, not clouded by lobbyists, rules were rules because it was a consensus of people who had faces to you. A rule, for example, might have been: don't chop down the trees in the grazing field nearby otherwise the herd that you feed on might find somewhere else where there is shade to cool themselves while grazing. It was a rule that made sense and it was a rule that was kept because people with faces you loved and knew wanted them kept and therefore they became inherent in you. There was no need for a faceless organization to keep check on you. There are always rules but in anarchism it is formed by those you know.

Libertarianism- The recognition that things should be closer to anarchism with the understanding that we don't live in tribes anymore. With the understanding that when you mix cultures of almost 7 billion people that anarchism does not flow in the blood of many anymore and that we have desperate or exploitative people roaming the Earth that can move on and away easily when they have ruined something enough or have stolen enough. Libertarianism recognizes that people, no matter what your background, anarchist, Christian, conservative, liberal, communist, Muslim, even tribal... all have rights. They all have the right to have personal liberties. People have the right to leave a situation where they're getting exploited unfairly or to have someone to go to when a more powerful person or group tries to muscle their way in to an area. They have the right to keep their money and choose what it goes to instead of going to the faceless people everyday that you may or may not be willing to support.

As a Libertarian myself I see the creator of this comic as more liberal than anarchist because in a way it's saying that money should still be taken from the rich for social programs that they may choose not to endorse. Libertarians today, believe it or not, are not corporate elitists, there is no money in libertarianism... corporation lovers most certainly blindly support the party or person who will give governmental money to their corporation of choice.

Undoubtedly Libertarianism has the ability to become corrupt. However it is so vast in its range that there are a lot of positive avenues to be taken with it. I don't believe I am the average libertarian but for right now libertarians are fighting for similar beliefs as me and as long as they do I will support them.

However I am extremely anti-corporate. I believe in breaking down corporations to where they are not as powerful or more powerful than most countries. I believe most things should be run so that the most bottom level worker knows the highest level worker to some physical degree and the larger something is the more regulated it must become so as to promote competition and ingenuity instead of something like the RIAA just rolling over college students and suing them for not physically doing a thing to them.

However neither Libertarianism nor Anarchism addresses the necessary rules of how humans and the environment should interact. Because it is most obvious those who control the environment control the liberties of the people within that area. Pollution as well as mining, deforestation, pumping water, poaching, hunting, fishing etc all need to be addressed as those who create it are responsible to those who depend on it in a way that is as reliable as the environment surrounding it. The real issue is when are libertarians, greens, and anarchists going to stop fighting with each other and start realizing they can interlock with each other and fight for the real causes against corporate manipulation and a capitalist-demanding society.

Libertarians are NOT in the pockets of corporations. Far far from it. at least today it's true.
