“American businessman and software engineer. He is the co-author of Mosaic, the first widely used web browser with a graphical user interface; co-founder of Netscape; and co-founder and general partner of Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.:”

It’s sad that as a society we’ve let capitalists masquerade as, and co-opt the term libertarian. To stand for all the things actual libertarians stand against.

They have their own term. They’ve kinda shunned it for years. But I’ve heard they’re starting to call themselves fascist again in some places.
