Thinking of social anarchists. Extremely "left" in many regards by North American standards, and pushing towards being about as pro personal liberty as you can get.

Arguably social anarchists have a different read on what personal liberty is and should be compared to, say, Ayn Rand. It might not be the best comparison, but I think the gist of it is true. Heaps of leftists value personal liberty.

As an anarchist, we are for absolute personal liberty. But when we hear "personal liberty " followed by "free markets" pushed by a billionaire, it's clearly right wing propaganda. There are no right wing anarchists.
Hopefully my comment doesn't make it appear as though I disagree.

This entire situation reads to me as extremely corrupt and—almost ironically yet not surprisingly at all—more likely to be harmful to personal liberties of many while beneficial to very few.

Free market coming from Bezos' mouth is a laughable concept. He will do everything in his power to nullify competitors while squashing the liberties of his own employees. Nothing about this is sincere.
