Libertarian Socialism

[CapnAwesome]

Anarcho-Capitalism is the very worst form of society which has been tried over and over again and always leads to oppression and social inequality.
You want to see unfettered capitalism look at sweat shops, child labour.
If you want social justice and equality socialism IS the way to go.

I'm never going to defend the anarcho-capitalist position, because I think it's stupid, but those are poor examples. I don't think there has ever been an attempt at Anacho-Capitalism. It would mean that you would be getting rid of the government. The countries that buy goods from those countries, such as the U.S. an Europe definitely still have functioning governments. The countries that produce those goods, such as China, are as likely as not to be socialist countries.

Count me out of the "fuck you got mine" vision of America too. But you need to understand that individuality is our equality. Equality is each community having the power to make their own decisions. I don't want anybody making my decisions and I don't want to make anybody else's decisions.

I'm a libertarian socialist because I want my tax money to fund doctor owned healthcare. I want to fund competing teacher owned schools. I want to fund a green infrastructure. I want to fund homeless shelters and free rehabilitation clinics. I don't want to fund WW3. I don't want to trap victimless criminals in a cage. I don't want hard working refugees to be treated like "illegals". I don't want kids to be treated like criminals as I was. I don't want to fund ISIS, so I'll have to fund fighting them. Nobody asked me if I wanted to live in a constitution free zone.

I wish I could convince that southern hellscape called the bible belt to agree with me on healthcare and education. Does that mean I get to make their decisions for them? I don't want them to make decisions for me. I do not get to have it both ways. The bible belt sucks, always did suck and always will suck. I have no say in the matter. All I can do is encourage the oppressed to vote with their feet.

Did you just call the southern states in the U.S. a hellscape? Hahaha. Hyperbole much. Did you know that countries exist that aren't part of the pampered western world?
