Libertarian Socialism

[stonedape]

You think people want to cooperate? I mean, yeah, it would be nice, but when one group is bigger and stronger than the other, they have a tendancy to say "Screw the cooperation! Were gonna take what we want!" Especially when resources are scarce.

What do you think is going on now? Scarcity isn't really an issue when you can provide services to adapt to circumstances. That requires as much flexibility as power. I think direct democracy offers flexibility and free association offers power.

Agreed, there ar problems with the system as it is, no questions there, but I want to fix the system and deal with the problems as they come up; keep the good while fixing the bad. Your solution feels like throwing the baby out with the bath water; eliminating the good and bad together.

I disagree. I believe we can have the best of both worlds and isolate the worst of both. What I'm getting at is a choice in the matter of our best intentions and interests.

Here is an analogy of what I'm thinking of.

Imagine if we could freely regulate the market by placing bulk orders for responsibly produced goods. Other companies would follow suit and compete.
