Um, no. The basis of most libertarian theory is that each person is best suited to know what is best for that person, and they should be free to make such choices, for good and bad, tempered by the rights of others and the necessity of living in a complex society.
No one ever said communists were smart.
Exactly: this perons is projecting what they want libertarianism to mean so that they (can contine) to trick some segments of that population into supporting leftists instead of the “center-right”/conservative/republican policies!..
