    So, I think it is time we had one of these. This thread is primarily for Socialists, and Market-fundementalist 'Libertarians' to debate n shit.

    So, yar. My brain isn't working right now, so I'll leave it to somebody else to make the first argument. BEGIN.

    I´m not really going to participate in this. I´m just going to sit and see the commentaries.

    I´m not going to try to debate with some demaguogues or people of the opposite side,who don´t know anything about the principles of austro-libertarianism. I already give many reasons why socialism doesn´t work

    If such a number of people want to act like embarassing clowns (no offense to real clowns, who are professional people who disguise themselfs to make children happy) and accuse libertarianism of being nazi/fascist, racist, anti-semite, etc, then do it.

    The stage is yours, people. The stage is yours.

    I lean more Libertarian, but I won't associate myself with any group (willingly).

    I sort of like Libertarianism but I'm mostly Capitalist.

    Socialism is not a good ideology. Capitalism is the way to go! I dislike Socialism because it doesn't allow people improve their wages, wealth, etc.

    Why not combine both and create Libertarian Socialism?

    It actually has, well for a short time in Anarchist Catalonia, George Orwell even praised it. Also you do know that libertarianism was a term first used by a French Anarcho-communist right?

    That seems pretty unfair to me. Regardless of the merit of the system they lost because of a military defeat.
