Not conservative(I guess more libertarian, now) enough me.  Too many laws, too many laws.

You should look at socialism and/or anarchism.

Two completely different sides of the economic scale?

They're surprisingly close to each other (assuming that's what you mean?) -- you can't really have anarchism without socialism, it would just be chaos.

Anarchism = no government control over economics or society. Socialism = complete government control of economy, no government control of society.

No, socialism = a socio-economic system where the distribution of wealth is controlled by the community, either directly or by the state.

I'd rather have a fascist dictatorship run by me !

Yes. How do you differ from what I said? (I assume you do, since you said "No.")

It isn't necessarily controlled by the government, it can be controlled by the community. Thus, it can exist alongside with anarchism (a system where there is no governing body).

So ultimately this comes down to a difference in perspective regarding government, as I see it being any form of authority controlling violence and market. Therefore, under my perspective, the community would be a governing force controlling the economy. I suppose we agree under different terms, as usual. Haha.

Like drug lords?  That's community ownership ... just a few people are more dominant and all the submissive people just accept it.

Well, the original point I was trying to make was that socialism and anarchy aren't mutually exclusive. If you're thinking of pure anarchy, then (in my opinion, probably not in others') it's basically chaos. There needs to be some kind of socialist side, where the community controls what the community produces, in such a way that it benefits everybody. That's the simple two-line comparison that does justice for nothing.

In ANY case, that's entirely besides what I was saying. My point was, if CrAz3d finds libertarianism interesting, he should look into anarchy with attached socialism. No government control over what people do to themselves.

I doubt crazed would support that. Seeing how he has so many problems with people doing what they want. (Gays, abortion, mexicans, etc.) I actually don't remember your (crazed) views on most social issues, but I know enough about you and how you strive to become the stereotype, so I can assume.

[CrAz3D]

I disagree with homosexuality, but support the ability for them to what what, in the butt.


I disagree with things, but acknowledge that they have the freedom to be wrong.



Abortion is, arguably, different.  It's about human life, not just a mere choice.
