Libertarian left and right

[reverendjeremiah]

Well, lets be very clear about this that "Communism" (as we know of it today, as it has been implemented) is AUTHORITARIAN.

Left Libertarianism is, and I will humor you in your words, a commune of sorts. It is a COOPERATION in reality. It is ANTI-AUTHORITARIAN.

So ultimately it is communism in the way that Wikipedia introduces it:

Communism is a social, political and economic movement that aims at the establishment of a classless and stateless communist society structured upon common ownership of the means of production.

There are some differences though. LeftLibs dispise politics. We do want to establish a classless and stateless society based on common ownership (we say "property is theft", and that all people have common ownership of the means of production.

So calling us "communist" is close, but not on the mark. Its more of a Cooperation

Cooperation or co-operation is the process of working or acting together. In its simplest form it involves things working in harmony, side by side, while in its more complicated forms, it can involve something as complex as the inner workings of a human being or even the social patterns of a nation.

So we dispise the idea of competition. This does not include friendly competition ("I bet I can get this pipe up faster than you could get your pipe up!"), it is merely against the "cut-throat competition" of corporate mergers, win or lose, poor and rich, etc..
