You literally have no idea what the word means. You've probably never read John Locke or Adam Smith or any of the other Enlightenment figures. The word has been morphed into its exact opposite, and Ron Paul is an exemplification. Today it means being an advocate for complete tyranny, which favors completely handing over the reins to private power,
Adam Smith is classical economics and an early proponent of free-markets. He disliked interventions by the state. You can't be into that and marxism at the same time, unless you're insane.
Ron paul is a minarchist. Not as good as an anarchist, but better than a warmonger.
which is even worse than state power because at least that's still somewhat accountable to the public. That has nothing to do with what the term originally meant, and still means everywhere else in the world except the US and a good part of the West.
Haha, well, no, that is never the case. Do you think China is in any better shape than Hong Kong because it's state has much more power?
