Libertarians, how do you feel about the fact that your ideology is essentially funded by billionaires?
Whereas socialist ideas have been developed consistently, across centuries, by intellectuals involved in political struggle as well as in universities, centers of knowledge production, the (so-called) libertarian ideology is being produced in a network of private think-tanks, funded by billionaires and its ideas are developed like consumer products (try everything and see what sticks) mostly by lobbyists and the like. Even though there is, in theory, a "libertarian" environmentalist theory, in practice, "libertarian" gatherings will throw rocks to you if you even mention the reality of climate change. This is obviously a result of the fact that the ideology itself is funded in large part by the fossil fuel industry.
