    Why is Dont Tread On Me being equated to libertarians?

    Im gonna start flying a Dont Tread On Me flag alongside a communism flag or something. Fuck the conservatives for stealing that beautiful American icon.

      Libertarianism is considered the base of the revolution, taking power away from the government and returning it to the people to rule themselves, which was then immediately corrupted with the federal government and the whiskey tax.
