Just screams LIBERTY, doesn't it?


Hes conflating forms of communism. With libertarianism.

Left libertarianism differs from other leftist ideology because it accepts individual right and freedoms. Basically they are SJW libertarians. LINK

quote:

Simultaneously, it features libertarian commitments to:

affirming robust protections for just possessory claims;
embracing freed markets and a social ideal of peaceful, voluntary cooperation; and
crafting a thoroughly anti-statist politics.

either way, i'm going to lunch. look forward to seeing if you guys compound your idiocy in more in my absence.


You're the stereotypical freshman college student who takes a Philosophy 101 course and thinks he has it all figured out. Of course the sad part is you don't even have the excuse of being a freshman college student

Any inclusion of the term "libertarian" with "against private property rights" immediately makes you an idiot.

our tax code is the financial equivalent of trying to navigate a bomber over Berlin in 1943. It's insanely complex and there's a hundred things working both for and against you, and the whole time you're just hopin


It's not all that complex. It's pretty exhaustive and long. The Code sections themselves, though, arent all that complex. The grey areas that get litigated don't matter to 99.9 percent of the population. He income tax is probably the most efficient and fair way to determine if things are being spread around "fairly".

Well, we're discussing the impact on the wealthiest of Americans, of which the complexities of the tax code come into play much more than for you or I.

Well, me at least. You could be rich for all I know.

I have no love of the IRS, though they've never personally wronged me. I think that if we simplified the tax code, we could eliminate a huge portion of the IRS. Then we'd have enough money left over for a country-wide pizza party.

And everyone loves pizza. Those who don't are communists.

I'm trying to think of what an actual Libertarian Socialist would look like. Like saying "skinny offensive lineman".

Maybe a really tall Nick Saban or a really thin Bret Bielema?

You're confusing anarcho communism with "libertarian socialism" (which is a misnomer anyway)
