Are we allowed to express a libertarian view point here

33. Agreed

Most so-called libertarians are against government regulation of capitalism, which is ironically anti-freedom for individual consumers. What they completely miss is that unfettered capitalism will allow powerful collectives (corporations) to consolidate economic power and use that to lobby for favorable laws to bolster their own interests that completely undermine the freedom of individual consumers. Libertarians favor freedom of corporations over freedom of consumers, so they contradict their own espoused values.

In a libertarian economic system, huge corporations would be free to use their massive financial strength to perpetuate a system that benefits them and limits the freedoms of individual consumers. Libertarianism, in this regard, actually works against individual liberty and for absolute corporate control.

A true, small-l libertarian would enthusiastically support consumer protections, while the fake Libertarian party rails against them.
