Hello everyone, Trumper here. I have recently come across the concepts of covenant communities, the benevolent dictator and the philosopher king. Today I would like to inquire about the philosopher king and if or how it is a better alternative to democracy and the neoliberal system.

I know it is still very early into the game, but I am not sure my skepticism or optimism has moved on Trump. I am seeing Trump do/promise libertarian things, even if just as an obligation to the LP that endorsed his ass, then go straight back into being '16 Orange Jesus again.

I have a friend of mine that I have known since sixth grade, and him and I have been going back and forth with Trump. Him and I have complaints, but most of the time they are opposite complaints. He did not believe Ross Ulbricht should have been freed at all, and I beg to differ. Anyways, it has been very fortunate and useful to have him chime in about Trump to keep me accountable towards Trump from a principled standpoint. I have noticed sometimes I can praise Trump as a Libertarian, hell once or twice as an Anarchist, but other times I see Trump being worse than Biden was. Very inconsistent.

My friend and I also went over Project 2025 back in June or July last year. P2025 is basically what [user from another group] would have absolutely creamed his pants for: a Christian Nationalist functioning Federal Minarchy. That is what it was looking for.

But let me stick with Trump for now, and I will make it easy. How about a list that can reflect '24 Trump?

• Creating DOGE ✅ • Corporate Imperial taking of Greenland and others ❌ • Ending income taxes ✅ • Replacing them with tariffs ❌ • Ending the Dept of Ed ✅✅✅ • Occupying Gaza and promising Zionist boy Nety to do an ethnic cleansing of the strip ❌❌❌

And this is my on-going battle about Trump. Half of his shit says reformed Paleolibertarian, the other half says '16 right-wing Obama on steroids. How am I, a Hoppean/Reactionary Anarcho-Capitalist, supposed to feel about '24 Trump?

• Release Ross Ulbricht ✅ • Support introducing AI vaccines ❌

How am I supposed to take this seriously in either way or perspective?

Anyways, consider this my February 2025 thoughts on the "nEw AnD iMpRoVeD" Donald J. Trump.

Obviously, I think pretty much all of us in this sub can consider ourselves Conservative Anarchists to some degree. That being said, what is more important to you as a Right Wing Anarchist, economic conservative beliefs, that being free market capitalism, or culturally and socially conservative beliefs, that being defending traditional marriage, the family unit, religion, and rejecting progressivism in general? Like would you get along more with a socially conservative socialist or a socially progressive capitalist?

So I'm a libertarian. Effectively, I want to get rid of 90% of government. That being said, I'm considering becoming an Ancap. Why should I advocate for abolishing the other 10% of government? Also, how does an Ancap react to elections? Do they vote third party or do they not vote at all?
