It's the 21st century version of laissez-faire. Instead of the government raping our asses, it's the corporations. I'd rather have some form of regulation in capitalism than none. Notice how the areas that resembles libertarianism politics the most are the areas that are leeching federal money and relies heavily on manufacturing jobs. Way to take care of your population.

So...what did the last 50 posts accomplish? Absolutely nothing, I think.
Lemme lay it out. Saying "we're better than communism!" isn't a great selling point. Communism totally failed. Saying "I don't fail as bad as the next guy" doesn't mean that you don't fail.
Corporatism undermines Libertarianism. Libertarianism only works if everyone is in control of their own money. It doesn't provide representation for employees. It doesn't provide accountability for managers. That's what you need unions, oversight boards, disinterested observers (i.e. government) etc. And when you have all that, it's not libertarianism anymore. It's just what we have already with a fancy intellectual-sounding label.
