The common denominator in libertarian politics: sucking up to state power

The common denominator in libertarian politics: they support regimes against popular opposition. You are a libertarian, or possibly a Stalinist, if you support the Assad dictatorship, the repressive Putin regime, the Venezuelan government against protesters, the Burmese junta carrying out genocide, the Duterte government in its death squads against the poor & martial law against Muslims, the Israeli government by claiming there is no apartheid & by opposing BDS, or Trump against the hundreds of thousands protesting him. It is the iron law of libertarianism to support governments in the name of fighting the elite.
