Anarcho-capitalist libertarianism

[Tiberius]

Capitalism Kills.

I have no idea how an economic theory can kill. Economic theories can be implemented in such a way that a number of people die, yes, but I'd argue that is more in the implementation than the theory.

Socialism could be implemented well, but only in a society where everyone isn't fueled by greed and where people are perfectly willing to not earn a decent amount for the work they do. Since no such society exists (only in the minds of socialists), every implementation so far has involved enforcement of such policies, which usually end up with a lot of resistance, followed by the systematic murder of that resistance, and the oppression of anyone who gets in their way.

Capitalism on the other hand, has no such history. Yes, the poor and unskilled get paid less, and for good reason (they don't have skills that are worth anything more). However the skilled workers (who can come from any background) can advance, get better careers, and create jobs to give to the poorer workers. Does this mean that some are rich whilst others are poor? Yes. Is this unfair? Hell no. What is unfair is telling people who have worked to earn their money that they must give it to the poor. That should be a matter of personal choice. In a world without government control of the economy, you would still have the people who support such ideas, but they would be in private charity. People who think sharing their wealth is a good idea would be free to do so, and people who would not have no obligation.

There is a reason why the vast majority of the most wealthy are philanthropists. We are all human; we would all prefer not to see people suffer, but part of being human is the ability to choose, and we should all have the choice about what we do with our money.

I'm more of a Libertarian socialist

When Adrian gets here you might need that suit

An oxymoron and a half. Libertarian means far more than "small government", and in any case, I'd be hard pushed to find a small government way to implementing socialism. You chuck the ideas of freedom that come with Libertarianism out of the window when you append the word "socialist".
