>With Freedom it's obvious

Is it though? They could be either lib-right or lib-left (especially with their portrayal in Clear Sky)

>Duty

Either authoritarian right or libertarian right, they're definitely authoritarians but joining up is strictly voluntary and they're also not coercing anyone.

>Mercs, Military

Auth-left agents of the state

>Monolith

Literal commie hivemind

>ecologists, Clear Sky

Big-brain intellectuals, so centrists

>Stalkers, Loners

I-don't-give-a-fuck-about-anything centrists

>Bandits

Auth-left I guess since most criminals tend to be lefties.

I'll stick with the neutral faction but thanks. Maybe we can drink vodka together sometime.

Is an authoritarian organization "libertarian" if it's voluntary to join? I don't think so, I think you're eating too many "right wing death squad" memes. The overlap between the "right" is a distaste for the "left" which barely means anything other than nobody but Communists like Communists and nobody but idiots tolerate them. The authoritarian "right" will fuck you, your rights and your freedoms right in the ass with the same disgusting smirk the authoritarian "left" would. This thread really should be on a video games board.

However, I do think you've raised an actual topic for discussion:

Is a band of authoritarian assholes actually libertarian if joining is (genuinely) voluntary? To what degree is it, if so?

Your question was answered in the thread about compatibility of nationalism and libertarianism. You don't have to be a libertarian to live in a libertarian society or follow its rules but the "pure" libertarian "ideal" does not have collectivist values. Also this thread is stupid because right/left distinction is false if not used interchangeably between individualism/collectivism, as was pointed by many many anons multiple times in many threads throughout all the history of the board, but let's pull the chart again.
