When I first met a libertarian, I had never heard of it. I come from a country where being a libertarian is the same is as being an alien, id est. Nobody knows a shit about it.

My first impression was just that one: "Ok, so you are an anarchist that wanna keep earning so much money". I honestly think that prejudices and stereotypes cannot represent the total truth about anything.However, I think there´s something logical about them, because they represent the first impression and are extremelly rich in semiotic content.

I´ve seen some people asserting here that making the link between libertarians and anarchist is basically a sign of uneducated herd. Well, the truth is that most of libertarians I directly met in the States are very well paid people, usually engineers or very intellectual and analytic people. But I do think they frequently miss something out of the equation. Libertarianism creates social layers because of astronomically different wages and especially they do createe corporate hierarchies.

And then is when they start talking about Ethics, Ayn Rand and everything gets weird and fucking scary.
