This is what happens when you hate the gubmint, but don't read anarchist theory.

She's also anti-vax 'cause gubmint.

    Being smug about knowing less than others is one of the most powerful energies

      I was mildly interested seeing a cute leftist dunking on libs, but the more she spoke the more annoying and wrong she became. I knew something was off.

    Whenever people say "we don't need to use either of these two terrible systems, we can make a new one", it's either social democracy, libertarianism or fascism

        libertarianism is basically fascism

        Eh? Libertarianism is just the thing you are when you don't like who is in charge. There are plenty of leftist-libertarians.

        Past that, fascism tends to be ultra-nationalist. Plenty of libertarians really hate the idea of nationalism to the point of insisting that any nationalist movement must be fascist. The ideologies might both suck, in the end, but they are distinctly sucky.

            Libertarians, when pushed to it, will show their colors as actually fascist.

            American Libertarians was co-opted by big business in the 60s and turned into the cucked ideology it is today.

            But that was far more about Fascists rebranding as Libertarians than libertarians actually being fascist.

            The Third Way shit is a similar rebranding effort. It isn't anything it claims to be, any more than Joe Biden is a progressive or Donald Trump is an evangelical.

      You can't just do a Mass Line Movement and transform your backwater colonial patchwork into a global superpower inside two generations. It's not possible. It'll never work.

    Being anti something isn’t an ideology. You have to be pro something.

    anarchist is too broad a term, anyone who has grievances with their government would call themselves an anarchist. If you call yourself a Communist, you know what the term means. I just recently watched a bare knuckle fight and one of the fighters had a circle A tattoo on his upper abdomen and a totenkopf skull on his upper arm...

      What if we give the economic structure... like... a racing stripe or something?

      Ok, ok. What if we change the color of the economic structure. Economy Zero, maybe? Or Economy Crystal?

      What if we just rebranded? We could call it The New Economic Program.
