Ok, so one of the killer apps that I have discovered with LLMs is to further my own personal political depolarization. ChatGPT will always make a solid argument for most any other side.

To help identify what the heck I am talking about here, here is ChatGPT Classic's take on "libertarianism vs capitalism vs crony capitalism vs anarcho capitalism" [0] I found it very good reading.

What I realize now is that I was only holding on to one aspect of "libertarianism."

> Free Markets: Supports the idea that a market free from government interference naturally leads to efficiency, innovation, and wealth creation.

If I may be introspective for a moment, I believe that the reason that I may have used libertarianism instead of capitalism, is because how polarizing "capitalism" has become in the US discourse. I feel like readers would assume that if I am making light of capitalism, then I must support communism or some equally obsolete ideology.
