Explain your ideology (in your own opinion) in less than 10 words.

Libertarian socialism:

Freedom, justice, equality, through direct democracy, and unionism.

I thought a thread like this could be useful for any newcomers who need a short introduction to certein peoples 'systemized' ideas. Like myself.

(this thread is the largest one in CC and i can still edit the first post! hihi)

[Die Neue Zeit]

The merger of revolutionary socialism and the worker-class movement (http://www.marxists.org/archive/kautsky/1892/erfurt/ch05.htm) :)

[Drace]

Throw pie at capitalists

Only 4 words =O

[Incendiarism]

Smash the state machine and expropriate all the capitalist dogs.

Sounds ambiguous enough. :)

[Cult of Reason]

Anarchist Communist Technocracy/Technocratic Federalism:

Energy accounting, direct democracy, those affected make decisions, abundance.

There, 9 words. Less than 10.

[apathy maybe]

I can use three words.

"Adjective free anarchism".

Heck, if I really wanted to I could make it one. "Anarchism".

Of course, what do these words mean? Well, that's the trouble with trying to define an ideology in a short space.

Take Cult of Reason's post, "direct democracy" what does that mean? Or Incendiarism's, as they note, it is ambiguous.

What does "unionism" mean in the OP? Worker controlled unions? Boss controlled unions? Err...

OK, enough nit-pick, here's anarchism in less then 10 words.

Anarchism is "against hierarchy and oppression, and for freedom".

It isn't very clear unless you know what those words mean though. And actually, I was going to put "against all hierarchy", except it isn't. Well, it is, but you have to define what you mean by "hierarchy".

"Machines can do the work so that people have time to think."

Or just:

Perhaps:

What about:

Or:

I like:

only a logical one:

should individuals have the freedom to step over another persons freedom? and also to have the freedom to take it away? if not it wouldnt be unrestricted right?

(IE. rich people have the unrestricted freedom to do whatever the F they like, while poor people have the unrestricted freedom to die and also the unrestricted right to do whatever the hrich persons freedom tells them to do :P)

thats your "libertarianism" right there. aka (anarcho)-capitalism.. google it bro

Clearly you fail to understand the concept of freedom. There is no such thing as "freedom to step over another persons freedom and freedom to take it away", thats called oppression. "unrestricted freedom to die and to be told what to do" isn't freedom. Its oppression.

[ZeroNowhere]

Except that the only person with truly unrestricted freedom is a despot. Freedom to oppress others isn't being oppressed, it's being free to do something.

[griffjam]

Except that the only person with truly unrestricted freedom is a despot.

It used to be said that the only free men are the hobo and the king. They are indeed the only ones who can claim to be lords of all they survey—though for utterly different reasons: the former possesses the entire world by releasing it, while the latter still owns only what he can conquer.


Freedom to oppress others isn't being oppressed, it's being free to do something.

Liberty is collective. One cannot be free when others are oppressed. Human beings are demonstrably social animals, who live interdependent lives and gain both utility and meaning through social networks, community, and shared projects. To be anarchists it is not enough to want the emancipation of the individual alone. We must also want the emancipation of all. It is not enough to rebel against oppression. We must refuse to be oppressors. We need to understand the bonds of solidarity, natural or desired which link humanity, to love fellow beings, suffer from others' misfortune, not feel happy if one is aware of the unhappiness of others.

Anarchists do not believe that everyone should be able to "do whatever they like," because some actions invariably involve the denial of the liberty of others. For example, anarchists do not support the "freedom" to rape, to exploit, or to coerce others. Neither do we tolerate authority. On the contrary, since authority is a threat to liberty, equality, and solidarity (not to mention human dignity), anarchists recognize the need to resist and overthrow it.
The exercise of authority is not freedom. No one has a "right" to rule others. As Malatesta points out, anarchism supports "freedom for everybody . . . with the only limit of the equal freedom for others; which does not mean . . . that we recognize, and wish to respect, the 'freedom' to exploit, to oppress, to command, which is oppression and certainly not freedom."
In a capitalist society, resistance to all forms of hierarchical authority is the mark of a free person -- be it private (the boss) or public (the state). As Henry David Thoreau pointed out in his essay on "Civil Disobedience" (1847)

"Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves."

btw did you vote ron paul by any chance? :P

By "unrestricted" I mean the extension of an individual person's liberty to the point where it interferes with the freedoms of another individual. In such a situation a compromise is obviously required, but I believe you'd be surprised how freely people could live under such a system (or lack thereof). The likes of Ron Paul or Ayn Rand and their supporters have no idea what the term 'libertarian' means as they are only in favour of liberty for the few. If one man gets a bowl of rice while the rest of his village starves to death he can hardly claim to be 'free'.
