Sigh. I love it when a #progressive cannot tell the difference between a #libertarian (in the #american #capitalist sense) and a libertarian #socialist.
@Darryl The "libertarian" label has been fully co-opted and ruined by an-caps.
Indeed. I recall the american libertarian party expelled the entire socialist caucus from their party a few years ago.
But I like libertarian socialism. ours was the original libertarianism before the yanks perverted the term. I'm not giving it up.
@Darryl We don't like the term "libertarian socialist" down here because it sounds too contradictory. "Left-libertarian" was common for a while, but really, the form of libertarianism that advocates freedom *for all*, not just for the privileged, used to just be called "libertarianism" in America. Only recently have the far-right an-caps taken that label (and the party) away from us.
