I don’t see why. The basic tenets of libertarianism are nothing more than non-aggression and property rights.
Everything pretty much falls within those two things. Capitalism is simply what occurs when non-aggression and property rights are observed…namely, capital accumulation, division of labor, and free trade. I think these things are encapsulated quite well in the symbols above.
For example:
The colors of the symbol are yellow (or gold) and black. Yellow is a reference to gold, which was the market chosen money. So it’s a reference to free market money, and by extension the free market and capitalism. Black is a reference to anarchy. Anarchy, or an-archy, means no rulers.
The shape at the top of the symbol represents a handshake, which is the most typical expression of a voluntary agreement.
(And of course, the V stands for Voluntary).
The same essentially goes for these:
…where the A is a common symbol for anarchism, and of course the dollar sign and “C” represent capitalism. Even the simple black and gold flag encompasses the main spirit of what is being relayed.
I also like the porcupine, as it seems to embody non-aggression. Obviously property rights is not made obvious in that one, but still. It makes for a great mascot if you’re into that kind of thing…
