Heeey I am also a libertarian, I just tend towards left libertarian. Back to the point of discussion, I find it difficult to ha e a meaningful conversation with the tankies or in general anyone from lemmy.ml . The discussions tend to lack any real data and feel entirely vibe based OR it's apologist bullshit for Russia.
Like it's cool if you like communism and have a philosophy based around why you think it'll help humanity. I can politely disagree but still listen and discuss. It's quite another to just be a complete dipshit and say "Ukraine had the invasion coming" (actual quote I've seen).
I'm actually sympathetic to anyone having an ideology not to help their identity, but trying to imagine a structure that works.
Ancaps are expected to be good in that regard, tankies are expected to be bad in that regard, but in general there are good and bad people in any group. I've met almost (the premise of racial difference in quality is still wrong obviously) reasonable Nazis, and not alt-rights at that, but real honest Nazis.
I've been excited about Trotskyism at some point, because while there are problems with their proposed ideal state (which is similar to what's described in Norbert Wiener's "Cybernetics"), they have a proposed mechanism and it's been even tested in Rojava (their bigger issue is with armed apes around them though, and also with the USA abandoning them after not needing them against ISIS).
