What is the coolest phrase you can use to describe the ruling class?

How many 19th century words can you use to describe the faults of Capitalism?

What is the vaguest phrase you can muster to describe practical economics in a libertarian socialist society?

How many words are no longer valid in your special libertarian socialist language? (example: ownership)

How many philosophers have you thoroughly studied after reading one Noam Chomsky novel?

I still have inner turmoil seeing those words put together like it would actually mean anything.

"I'm for individual freedom" "as long as we are all together in what we define as freedom"

Ok lets play "You might be a Socialist Libertarian if..."

I'll start.

You might be a socialist libertarian if you're mentally retarded and just stick "fancy" words together for the fun.

If a libertarian and a socialist have a baby what do you get?



An oxymoron


I gotta work on my libertarian socialist jokes...

You could be a libertarian socialist if...you're really broke and envious of other people's wealth and wish to take it off them.

If you believe in fantasy fairytale land where everyone shares everything equally without government coercion, you might be a redneck libertarian socialist.

It's true, but it would be just as true to say everyone as it is saying no one.

Why should any more confiscation occur?

No Govt has revenue raising issues, our Govt raises 48 bill in taxes per year off 3,500,000 people...is 48bill not enough?

When will Govts stop asking for MOAR?

When we say "no, fuck you, make do with what you have".

Im not saying should, he'll no, I'm saying could. You know, eat the rich because they can afford it? Well, I'm sure most of could afford it because everyone who pays taxes here are paying more than they were 4 years ago. ( no matter what buck says)

Why hand people because they have more?

I thought equality was the goal? Discrimination because of bank balance is as pointless as discrimination based on skin-colour.

Preaching to the choir Harrekin. I was just saying I don't know anyone who thinks they should pay more but I think everyone can. It's not a good thing, it's just how it is. We are going to continue policies that necessarily require more revenue. We are going to continue devaluing the dollar with our magic printing press. We'll survive, we'll just be a bit poorer overall.
