Jest wśród amerykańskich libertarian niejaki Christopher Cantwell, który chyba trochę robi rozróby w środowisku (jak sam się określa: Anarchist, Atheist, Asshole). Tak na FB napisał o libertariańskim brutalizmie (podkreślenie moje):
I think part of what has been lost in this is the actual definition of brutalism as it applies to libertarianism. As much as I didn't like the way Tucker put it, he did make a good comparison to the form of architecture referenced.
There's actually a subreddit dedicated to brutalist architecture. The idea is typically (via wikipedia) large buildings, massive in character, fortresslike, with a predominance of exposed concrete construction. The style was often selected for socialist government sponsored projects for public structures, high-rise multi-family housing, and shopping centres to create an architectural image that communicated strength, functionality, and frugal construction.
I don't much care to be associated with socialism of course, but there is a certain beauty in simplicity. There is value in a show of strength.
The sound of the word ie "brutal" has sort of gotten it confused with use of force, and while that's not exactly the usage implied, I've adopted it to my own use of force arguments because use of force is a core libertarian principle that far too many have tried to do away with.
To me, libertarian brutalism is just core libertarianism. A lot of people have tried to add to and subtract from libertarianism to make it fit their own particular worldview, and that really defeats the purpose. Libertarianism is simple, and strong, and useful, even if some people think it is ugly.
