    astrology for terminally online 20 somethings.

    met this really cute guy and we have so much in common, especially politically - we agree on pretty much everything. it was going so well until i had him take the political compass test and he placed at economic -8.3, social -7.7, which of course means he's fickle and jealous in nature. as an economic -9, social -8.7 myself I knew at that moment we were incompatible

    My social coordinate is in retrograde but my economic alignment is in Jupiter.

    No, I have never read any theory, why do you ask?

    uhhh actually her coordinates in the Y (Authoritarian) axis indicates that she may be more of a semi-authoritarian libertarian socialist, since anarcho-socialism would be at least 2 squares down from it.

      Before the sub went down I found someone who claimed to be an anarcho socialist. I didn’t think that was a thing, so I asked them what that meant and they basically described libertarian socialism to me. According to the Wikipedia page of libertarian socialism though, anarcho socialism is just another term for the same thing.

      I think "anarchosocialism" would be referring to socialism in the sense of "worker-owned means of production," so I guess it would be anarcho-communism but not married to the other aspects of communism.

      Of course, for the "anarcho" to make any sense, it would have to be stateless and classless, but maybe there could be some sort of open market that uses money but with entirely worker coops instead of private corporations.
