There is a few that reject state control of the economy but claim to be socialist. I'm not sure how you resolve that in the real world.

Maybe they should read Animal Farm

Machine is a socialist with a libertarian qualifier.

Wait. That's not a joke. My bad.

Any time.


And your label makes no sense.

You cannot be socialist and libertarian. You are merely a socialist.

well some of the original usage of "libertarian" is similar to the "anarchists" who are communists in disguise

the modern usage of "libertarian" is more aligned with being "anti-state" and true anarchist

so "libertarian socialist" = basically a communist, just like the black bloc"anarchists" = basically communists

commies and libertarians (the modern connotation) love subgroups and arguing over labels based in arguments over intellectual purity

lets not point out the insane difference in family wealth in most minorities vs white families cuz asians!




So just posting random numbers with no explanation or support on how they calculated/determined is now fine as long as it pushes your agenda right?

What the health do they mean by family wealth? Is it savings? net worth? do they include debt? Are they accounting for single parent homes? Single people as family?

It is sad when you may have a legitimate argument and yet destroy any meaning for it by just posting random garbage to over-exaggerate it.

What is his definition of "wealth?" Debt-to-asset ratio?

all you need to do is google "left-libertarian" or "libertarian socialism" and read any of the literally thousands of articles on the topic

Then you are not a libertarian

You do realize "liberty" is the root word?

That is simply unacceptable.


It is unacceptable!

How exactly do white people benefit from keeping black and latin families down? Is it the rampant crime, increased taxes, or the destruction of inner cities?
