So many radicals, whether of the left, right, or libertarian variety, think that a system collapse will be followed by the organic emergence of their preferred system. Unless their preferred arrangement features a lot of violence and poverty, that's very unlikely.

The Austrian School is a school of economics, not political philosophy, but if you're going to associate it with a political philosophy, why not the (constitutional-democratic) classical liberalism of real Austrians like Menger, Mises, and Hayek?

Two things for Austrian enthusiasts on Twitter to know: 1) AE is not a political philosophy 2) Although anarchocapitalism is popular among "Austrians" in the US, because of Rothbard, many Austrian economists are not ancaps but liberals (e.g., Menger, Mises, Hayek, Kirzner).

Classical liberals have traditionally been skeptical of pure democracy and simple majoritarianism. Nonetheless, they have still held as vital the democratic element in constitutional republics. But now some libertarians oppose even that. That's what the argument has been about.
