Not the one you responded to, but I do see myself as libertarian socialist - which is nothing else than an anarchist.
The right side always seems to want to steal the labels from our side, because freedom and liberty sells good...
A liberal on the other hand is a very comformist stance in my opinion
TIL that a libertarian socialist can be equated to an anarchist…
Time to go dive into another wikipedia hole regarding classical political theory.
Yes, traditionally,
However, that's only one of the definitions. Libertarian capitalism, commonly known as anarcho-capitalism, is another type of anarchism.
Where specifically does your philosophy diverge from liberalism. What parts of it seem conformist and what made you feel that way? In my understanding libertarian-socialist, with a lean to anarchist, seems to be liberalism without the label. So just trying to figure out the specifics of your personal philosophy.
Do you believe in private property? Regulation of commerce? Do you think social safety nets should be maintained by the government? Emergency/public services like fire departments, school, and utilities? Taking a step back, do you think the government should collect taxes? Again, just curious where your personal philosophy diverges and why. Not trying to put you on the defense or anything, just genuinely curious.
