    Libertarianism as the Handmaiden to Socialism

    I know from experience that there are people who think of themselves as "Libertarian Socialist." Basically, they're anarco-communists and the only thing that really separates them from the antifa types is that they believe in non-violence. I shouldn't have to explain that people like this do...

    Libertarianism as the Handmaiden to Socialism

    Individualism vs. collectivism is entirely the point. Just as the point of this thread is just to conflate two ideologies you don't like, rather like the regressive left calling everything they don't like fascist.

    Libertarianism as the Handmaiden to Socialism

    I would love to have other freedom-loving people come to the US, but I would want to vet them first to make sure they're actually freedom-loving. ;) I would also participate in a certain amount of protectionism to ensure industries to not move overseas and put so many of my fellow Americans...

    Libertarianism as the Handmaiden to Socialism

    In what way does libertarianism lead to globalism? I know there are some open border types that claim to be libertarian, too, but I'm sure not one of them, and the others I've interacted with are all in favor of strong borders as well. The idea that libertarians, who practically jack off to...

    Libertarianism as the Handmaiden to Socialism

    I'm sorry, but libertarianism is not the "handmaiden to socialism" - libertarians hate collectivists in general, so communists are their natural enemy along with fascists, and they would take up arms and fight against them. Why else do you think HS under Obama tried to connect the Gadsden flag...

    Dude, are you defending Jim Crow laws and slavery?

    Libertarianism as the Handmaiden to Socialism

    If you want to play it off that way, why don't all non-Natives fuck off back to whereever their ancestors came from?

    Libertarianism as the Handmaiden to Socialism

    I can't help but think the real reason people try to legislate their religious morality and force others to conform to it is because they themselves cannot resist temptation and must have the government do it for them.

    Libertarianism as the Handmaiden to Socialism

    Okay, now you really sound like the identity politics crowd.

    Libertarianism as the Handmaiden to Socialism

    Man, I'm really wishing there was a face-palm reaction among all those tribbles.

    Libertarianism as the Handmaiden to Socialism

    Honestly a lot of what we're seeing today could have been avoidd had the US only managed to live up to its stated ideals better. A lot of the reason socialism has any kind of a draw to people is this promise of equality, and a way to punish people that they've seen as oppressing them. If...

    Libertarianism as the Handmaiden to Socialism

    Honestly I see the conflation of socialism and libertarianism to be way off base considering one is collectivist and the other individualist - they couldn't be more different. The closest they might come to each other is that they both talk an awful lot about equality, but the thing is that...
