It all depends on whether zappa came to regret his meanness in the moments before he died.

Hmm
What a fail huh? Even in death all his words were purely contradictory
I can still hear him though
"Listen kid, I try to help you. All you kids. I try to help you guys man."
eliminate public programs eh? Like the government service that prints out a death certificate? He never got that wish. Did he?

Zap was your typical libertarian, to put it simply. Low taxes, low regulations, free markets, strong borders, social darwinism, but a strong military.

i believe there is too much spending on military, but not all libertarians think that way...not to say i'm libertarian. just rational...libertarian and liberal is about the same thing. it's literally a bifurcation of the scope within a particular ethos, and that ethos is termed "the left"; though libertarians can be found spotting in and among the ranks of "the right", as well.
left and right are fucking stupid terms to denote political thought.

Well, theres the classical left and the post marxist left, not to say there isnt mass confusion about either of these terms.
But the idea of free markets, low regulation, typical laissez faire social darwinism outlook is markedly right, imo. At least in our current climate.

and those would be good ideas if they could possibly be handled correctly. sadly, the "movement" um would falter and people would lazily only fend for themselves and their own, and the whole system of democracy would eventually concede to be a failure in America, if no one thusly stood up and took over again, with a more liberal standpoint.
the only reason all that is, however, is because people are uncoordinated unless there is a pay-off. capitalist liberalism seems like the best option at this current time (not to say that it doesn't become attached to people who give it their misgivings of misapprehension, or are dishonest within their actions involved). things evolve. maybe things might work better in other ways, in other times.

Agreed.
I think my original point was that people who consider themselves "left" have no business claiming libertarian, its just a catch all for "i vote 3rd party, i want legal weed and low taxes, im a nonconformist."
Look at the "lefties" championing Gary Johnson, the pro tpp, anti regulation test tube candidate cooked up by the Kochs. Granted, theres a distinction to be made between libertarianism and The Libertarian Party, but again, most of those claiming the title dont know that, either.

Do strippers enter their profession freely? Is somebody dragging them to strip joints at gunpoint? No. Maybe a few but not many by any stretch. Are they being forced into pornography? Maybe a few, but not many.
What do you mean by freely? If they are broke and feel an economic impulse to maximize their earnings potential that is freely. Just like any other job.

oh sure. there is alot of confusion all around. you probably can see why. (i mean, see: alt-right...WTF IS AN "ALT-RIGHT"? cultural marxism for sure! gotta be. )
and yeah, Gary Johnson seems like the perfect small minded candidate for the Kochsuckers.
PS: let's all take note of how when i mentioned taking action, imachavel skunked down his OP into a much nicer variable.
competition works.
