It's funny because capital created big governments.

This is my prediction. After the GOP crashes and burns, the Chris Christie/Mike Pence wing will do a hostile takeover of the Libertarian Party. They are already on the ballot in every state, so that would be easier than building a new party from scratch.

Your optimism is unwarranted. 😥

US American Democrats aren't much better. I mean, sure, pro-choice, environmental policies, etc, but their economic policies? Haven't been great for the working class at least since Bill Clinton's era.

*It seems like I have to explain myself, I'm a socialist. I'm very left leaning, very pro regulations, it doesn't trickle down. Bill Clinton signed NAFTA, he was very openly Neoliberal. (And, btw, Don't Ask Don't Tell was also from his era). Obama, however charming, did little to bring the dignity of work back to the US, he instead played the respectability politics, pull yourself up by the bootstraps through higher education (which was not available for everyone).
