    Libertarian has two different meanings, depending on who you talk two.

    In the modern day, and unless they qualify it, “libertarianism = anarcho-capitalism”.

    Classical libertarianism (sometimes left libertarianism, or libertarian socialism) is more akin to anarcho-syndicalism. Advocacy for ownership of the means of production via trade unions and the like, with the goal of obsoleting the state and capitalism, that kinda thing.

    EDIT: Also, capital-L “Liberalism” in the US is more than a little bit of a departure from liberalism. It’s mostly evolved into a meaningless pejorative the far right uses against the center-left (and when I say that, I’m talking about center-left from an American perspective, so really more center-right)

    Perhaps the design could be altered.

    I know the appeal of a guillotine is that it’s fairly simple, but if we’re gonna scale it up for maximal decapitating efficiency, then I feel like we can afford to have a motor with some horsepower lift the blade. Maybe two to make keeping both sides of the blade even easier.
