Reply #24: Do you have some sort of problem, here?

I don't know beans about the band 'Rush,' nor care in the least. The one Rush fan I have known personally, a 1400 SAT student who flunked out about 1993, was a committed Randian free-marketeer, but he didn't know from anarchist-communism.

It is true that libertarian socialism does not exist today. So what? Neither does American democracy, but we all (on this board) aspire to it.

As I indicated before, it is difficult for me to understand what a working communist anarchism would look like, but that could just be a failure of imagination on my part.

My point was that a libertarianism that supports (government enforced) property rights and business contracts, or in other words government enforced economic inequality, is either a very confused or very hypocritical kind of libertarianism. That is a view that anarchist communists express (well, there are a few of them around, you know) and I agree with it.

The all-caps headline is a little shrill, and that suggests to me that this is a problem for you.
