> he too subscribes to the anarcho-right political ideology

Trump is not at all a libertarian? He's probably the least libertarian republican president in modern history. He is big government, anti-free market and anti-global markets (tariffs), pro-state intervention in industry favouring big legacy businesses (CHIPs act, auto companies, etc), and big on debt spending.

Did Trump's Tariffs create confusion and mayhem, increase price (drain wealth) and ultimately lead to the siphoning of billions of tax payer money (again, another drain) to rich corporates? Yes, it has. Make of that what you will ...

you have no concept of the political or economic spectrum, gotcha

If you need some help google "authoritarian capitalism", "state capitalism", "crony capitalism", or "corporatocracy". All of those are in opposition to anarcho-capitalism. Aka rather than limit government power they encourage the expansion of government influence in industry, thereby enriching the entrenched power players (megacorps) and subsequently greatly reward politicians and ex-gov employees who played along.

Anthropic/Dario is working on becoming the modern poster boy of this.

Your confusion is understandable as Americans use a different political spectrum scale (i.e. Americans have their own political labelling system) - outside America, anyone would scoff, and even laugh, at the claim that the Democratic Party in the US is supposed to be the "left". (For the rest of the world, both the Democratic party and the Republican Party are centre-right parties, with current Trump administration leaning even more to the right- ...).

I see you're a pro-russian Eurasianist tankie (in the modern terminally-online sense) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49208726

Everyone is aware Europeans are as ideologically and culturally self-centered as Americans. They make this apparent every chance they get on the internet.

I am an Indian - I am only "pro-Russian" or "pro-American" depending on the politics.
