Is there any flavor of libertarianism that even in theory makes sense? I lump libertarians together which I guess is unfair but I only talk to them online and they always seem to so similar however they define themselves with nuance. I find them to be ridiculous, obnoxious, and selfish.
For example - at Bluesky I just had an argument with a self-described socio-libertarian who was against "disruptive" protests against climate change. The character limit at Bluesky makes an actual discussion pointless in a situation like this. But they were an asshole anyway so that limit did me a favor. And I didn't need to her some kind of fantastical thinking about the magic of the free market solving climate change.
Here's what Wikipedia has to say about libertarian socialism...
Libertarian socialism is an anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist political current that emphasises self-governance and workers' self-management. It is contrasted from other forms of socialism by its rejection of state ownership and from other forms of libertarianism by its rejection of private property. Broadly defined, it includes schools of both anarchism and Marxism, as well as other tendencies that oppose the state and capitalism.
Libertarian Socialism is effectively the end game of Communism, from what I understand of Marx's meaning by the eventual "withering away of the state".
Unfortunately, the ethos adherents are typically just a bunch of theory illiterate very onliners who like the idea of not paying taxes and doing whatever they like, but also, trying to still be humanists.
They are skipping all the hard work steps, which involve revolutionary solidarity and action which deliberately dismantles the structures which protect capitalist power. Anarcho-Syndicalists completely ignored that the people who have monopolized capital will fight tooth and nail to maintain and preserve their privileges. They will murder using war and police without remorse.
Libertarian Socialists will try to both-sides the state monopoly on violence. This is a false equivalency logical fallacy. The Capitalist state will do extra-judicial murder all the time in order to protect their hoards. They are anti-human dragons. The Communist state is explicitly pro-human, and uses violence to fight back or to protect and preserve the people's revolution, because without that ever vigilant revolutionary spirit, we will again fall victim to the psychopathic greed of the anti-human Capitalist.
Is violence always bad? Sadly, it is not. Humanity was born out of a violent nature, and was raised amidst it. But humanity will have to fight for justice, and preserve it.
