Freedom and capitalism didn't exist a century ago in most places and slavery and serfdom were everywhere 2 centuries ago. Slavery and/or segregation even existed in the land of the free and the brave [giggle] up until my time.

I'd say you are a Luddite, yes. Stuck in previous mindsets and unable or unwilling to see new facts and accept new ideas and will oppose and destroy those trying to take them up.

In one sentence you write: < Progress is what will make life on earth better.>

In the next sentence you write: <Libertarianism, like the free market, doesn't exist in the real world so it would be very difficult to have a Libertarian country. >

Progress, new things, creativity, ideas are very difficult for people, so you are right, it is difficult to get things going because they disrupt existing things people do, so they oppose them. You oppose Libertarianism, capitalism, and think free markets don't exist in the real world. You scoff at them and denigrate people who promote them, without reasoning. That's Luddite.

I've got no idea who you are other than somebody. My Turing test results show an actual human. A machine would be much more logical and reasoning. Little joke there, giggle. I conclude you are therefore a woman, or epicene bloke who is no good at maths.

Feudalism, slavery and repression are bad, libertarianism, freedom and capitalism are good. Luddites are losers. Libertarians are liberators.
