I'm a libertarian commie myself (not a tankie). The overton window has shifted so far to the right that people are fully convinced that socdems are leftist. Socdems are like the bare friggin' minimum and it's crazy how many people don't realise that.

True, that's what's so infuriating about the term "woke". Woke is just common-sense empathy, like what used to be the norm in the past. I haven't changed, it's y'all that have become fascists.

Left libertarian we generally call Anarchist.

Libertarian communism? Does that mean every business is a CO-OP?

How would you prevent the state from favoring one CO-OP over the other and creating a co-op monopoly by favoritism?

Sorry, not trying to attack you. I'm a radical leftist and libertarian communism is sort of the most Lemmy thing I've ever heard.

Workers control everything, basically. It's hard to put all into one comment, but it's a bit like anarchism. Considering that I'm fairly new to Lemmy, I take that as a compliment. Plus, private property isn't a thing under this system.

Well, you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.

Another fun fact is that China cannot be truly considered communist. It's socialist, but not communist. It has similarities to communism, though. Considering some of the people working under harsh conditions for money, it cannot be considered communist.

People thought academics were socialists during the Vietnam War too

This is nothing new

Yeah, I was a Libertarian myself until the early 2000's. Not anymore though.

Their anything goes gun stance became, to me, a red line after school shootings became a daily thing in the US. Watching them parade RFK and Donald at their convention in 2024 demonstrated that maybe their principles aren't exactly as strong as they say they are.

But we'd be better off Johnson had been elected. 100%. Too bad people cared more about Syria than whether or not Americans can eat.

Libertarian commie =/= libertarian

They're a different kind of weird. lol

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Must be. We're getting way too deep into the identitarian weeds for me. :)

I just say anarcho-communist to make it more obviously different

DENNIS: I told you. We’re an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.

ARTHUR: Yes.

DENNIS: But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting.

ARTHUR: Yes, I see.

DENNIS: By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs–

ARTHUR: Be quiet!

DENNIS: –but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more–

ARTHUR: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, unironically a decent framework to start with. Arthur cant handle it because as a monarch it is chaos to him

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Sure it sounds good in theory, but were any of your little "anarcho-syndicalist" buddies bestowed the blade Excalibur by the Lady of the Lake? Didn't think so, libtard.

[–] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 hours ago

Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Buddy youve gotta realize by now that the LP is just a way for the rich to funnel more wealth

[–] Wakmrow@lemmy.world 0 points 12 hours ago

Oh ok so you're an illiterate dumbass

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world -2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

how radicalized is globalizing the intefada?

very? not much? medium-rare?

[–] Wakmrow@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

It's fairly radical why do you ask
