Remind me where individualist libertarianism is heading again?

Only arguable if they were from this ideology.

Marx wouldn’t have approved (or Bakunin, if you want an anti-statist view).

Do you have any opinion on why British and US capitalists sided with the Falangists against the Spanish capitalists, who were fighting for the republic with the communists and anarchists?

I have to say, I like the appreciation for nuance most commenters are showing here. No one is calling anyone else (other than the Kochs) a Nazi.

It is worth noting that the way Americans, officially and popularly, viewed the Nazi government in 1935 was very different than the way it was viewed in 1945 and subsequently.
