"Rational anarchism" isn't the only type of anarchism.
Yes, not really the point though.
Anarcho-syndicalism to left. Anarcho-capitalism to the right.
As others mentioned, you need to learn more about the topic.
did i mention anarcho syndicalism? FFS genius, the intial post described a right wing stance as left. All you mother fuckers need to read a book
I mentioned anarcho-syndicalism.
"Rational anarchism" isn't a thing. I Googled it, and you just read it from a sci-fi novel, which is not an authoritative and academic source on the topic.
READ an actual authoritative and academic book on the topic.
"I googled it and" clearly an expert. I mean you don't even seem to know what conversation you've joined
"Rational anarchism" is coined by a sci-fi novelist for his fictional story, and no respectable scholars have ever used it.
Horseshit
BTW, "rational anarchism" is an occasionally used synonym for "social libertarianism".
Says who? Social libertarians identify themselves as left.
...Jesus you people are painful. Libertarianism, Randian or not (this type is not), is a right leaning philosophy even if self identifiers bought into the false "right bad left good" dichotomy so many push. FFS half the people who identify as either type don't even know what they are ( or who John Galt was), they think it means do what you want whenever you want because the name resembles liberty, another term they barely understand.
Have you heard or seen Yanous Varoufakis rub shoulders with Trump, Orban, or Putin? Have you even heard of Yanous Varoufakis? He'd be offended if you describe him as being on right..
Which social libertarians call themselves "rational anarchist" synonymously?
Damn that's a tall strawman.
So, which social libertarians call themselves "rational anarchist"? And why are they politically right according to you?
Hillel Steiner comes to mind. You might be confusing "left libertarianism" with being left wing. It's still right, just not Randian right.
Left libertarianism is another term for social libertarianism, the latter in which you mentioned as "right".
And when did Steiner called himself "rational anarchist"?
Actually, where did you hear "rational anarchist" to begin with?
Yes, and rational anarchism is yet another synonym. Like I said, you people are fucking painful, full of fire and pedantry, signifying nothing
Who said rational anarchism is a thing? Where did you hear it? And why is it considered right wing?
"who said words have meaning?" "Why is English a thing?"
Who said social libertarianism is right wing? And what precisely is rational anarchism?
