Hey Friedrich, how did that work out for you?
Did you die anyway ?

What's that supposed to mean? Are you gonna delegitimize a person's opinion just because they died years before you were even born? Everyone dies regardless of what political or economic stances they have, are you really gonna make the argument that Hayek died because he saw reason for an economy that produces vast amounts of wealth to provide at least some minimum with only a minimal amount of intervention from the state and you will achieve some sortof immortality if you preach nothing but unfettered libertarian anarcho-capitalism? Hayek was certainly not a socialist, he was the one of the most prominent figures of libertarian capitalism and never lived in some communist dictatorship like Venezuela or Russia. Also he he died at age 92 therefore he lived a lot longer than anyone who lived in a mass starvation communist dictatorship like Venezuela or Ayn Rand who lived on government subsidies at the end of her life.

The crying Wojak template is literally an avatar for Demorhhoids.
Libertarianism came from the writings of Robert Heinlein not this Von Hayak character I never heard of. Heinlein literally paraphrased the Bible when he wrote "them what works eats."

Yes it was made as a caricature of butthurt leftists but it can absolutely apply to butthurt rightists including libertarian neckbeards who are as pathetic and terminally online as leftists. I've never heard of Robert Heinlein before for I know a major founding ideologue if not the father of right-wing pro-capitalist libertarianism was Murray Rothbard. I just found out that Robert Heinlein was actually more known for writing science fiction which really tells how much one shouldn't take his work seriously. Also you never really heard of Friedrich von Hayek? I'm not sure if you're playing dumb or if you have been sleeping under a rock. He was a significant figure of anti-government, pro-capitalist libertarian economics known as the Austrian School, Ludwig von Mises ring a bell? There is a even a libertarian think tank called the Mises Institute. Hayek was 2nd most significant figure in the Austrian School other than Mises.
