No, because "freedom" isn't the right goal in and of itself, justice is. How does "Free" software to help ICE, perform drone strikes, assist in ethnic cleansing, etc. make the world free, never mind just?https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/1172630847544950784 …

Replying to @lizthegrey
The Free-as-in-libertarian software movement feels like it has always prioritized individual freedoms over individual protections. My right to punch you, but not your right not to be punched.

You did not understand libertarianism at all. It is always about “the right not to be punched” unless you are trying to punch someone yourself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aggression_principle …

“Considered by some” and I’d argue not apparently practiced by many self-professed contemporary libertarians

Nowadays, everyone calls themselves a libertarian, because there is no strict definition of what it is. In the task of identifying a libertarian I personally recommend sticking to the definition of Rothbard, Nozick, Kinsella, and Hoppe.

My mistake. I’ll refer to the people I mean as shortsighted, selfish, solipsistic jerks in the future to avoid offending any libertarian sensitivities.

Stallman has nothing to do with libertarianism. He never even identified himself as one. Libertarians would not be against closed source software, for once. He is closer to communism (make everyone share their IP) than to capitalism (feel free to make money from your IP, or not).pic.twitter.com/AkHQk1DUTT
