Libertarians and Anarchists used to be Socialists in the 19th and early 20th century. Everyone from Kropotkin and Bakunin to Oscar Wilde. And likewise, socialists like Eugene Debbs had correctly pointed out that the governments and political class send you to war while they themselves don’t go.
Many socialists said the same thing during WW1. Why should the working class people fight each other? Turn the guns on your masters etc.
Would be nice to post links here to European versions of this.
Today’s libertarians view modern wars with the same skepticism. Are they really necessary, and if so, can our governments have a referendum by their people before starting one?
