BTW...I'm the first to admit perfection and Utopia aren't options, while you go around excessively bloviating about how they are....
No, you're not. As long as you maintain a belief in "free market" capitalism, you maintain a fantasy about utopia.
If only the right bunch of authoritarian thugs were in charge of it.
Don't be a fool. Those of a libertarian socialist stripe have always condemned authoritarianism when it emerged, whether it was in the early Marxist circles or in the rise of the Bolsheviks.
I'm a fan of Orwell's observations on how semantics are fudged by collectivist authoritarian punks like you, in order to con people into immolating themselves into mere chattel of the state.
This is exactly what Orwell would refer to as an example of absurd double-speak. Your reference to
anarchism, the most libertarian philosophy in existence, as "authoritarian," is an indication of either deep-seated ignorance of political economy or severe blunt force trauma to the head. But hell, I'll play your game. Here's my Political Compass score:
I believe that would be a
perfect libertarian score of -10.0. Is yours lower somehow?
Chomsky has made many of the same observations...That doesn't automatically mean that I buy into his glaringly contradictory political views.
Contrary to your asinine comments, there's nothing oxymoronic or "glaringly contradictory" about libertarian socialism. The term "libertarian" was first used by European anarchists, in fact, and was thus claimed by socialists long before its misappropriation.
