Comment on Ask HN: What is the difference between Libertarianism and Fascismparent

Comments

Notice that both systems (and other systems too) are more mechanisms to archive undefined goals than goal setting.

In a libertarian society, free individuals could still build walls around the borders of their properties and hire armed guard to shoot at anybody not of their colors trying to cross it.

In a fascist society, the bosses could still force the people to accept submerging immigration from another continent, and brainwash the indigenous people to abort and use contraceptives, so that it is eventually exterminated.

ie. Libertarianism, Fascism, Communism, Capitalism, Republic, Monarchy, etc, don't matter much, to the persons who have the power to decide the policy and goals. The question is who decides, and what policy and goals they decide.

You are giving somewhat of an operational definition which I think comes closer to the truth.
