Both. At least Liberals are not denying climate change (instead they deny Social Science), but Libertarians have the annoying habit to dogmatically deny anything that contradicts their ideology, even if there is hard scientific proof. Same thing with Aynarcho-Capitalists, Neo-Libs and other Market Fundamentalists.

Still, Libertarians are not the reason why we need Camps, Its mindless fanboys, and stupid memes.

Actually he's a Technocratic Socialist (valendale.deviantart.com/art/T… ). You know, there are forms of Socialism that aren't based on the USSR model.

If by good you mean not authoritarian or dictatorial, then yes there are forms of Socialism that reject Authoritarianism and emphasise democracy and liberty, such as;

Democratic Socialism (mylittletripod.deviantart.com/… )

Libertarian Socialism/Anarchism (mylittletripod.deviantart.com/… )

and Left Communism (mylittletripod.deviantart.com/… ).

Actually I'm a socialist but the confusion is understandable if you know nothing about socialism and communism beyond the neoliberal propaganda you've undoubtedly been exposed to.

No you fool, our great DARK MASTER is beyond mortal comprehension, it is no mere Anti-Christ, all shall bow before the existential terror of the unknowable infinite void, to look upon his dark majesty is to go mad, and only in madness can we ever have hope that there is hope, for to face the terrible truth is to face our insignificance and the suffering of our existence before the inevitable eternal darkness.

ALL GLORY TO CTHULHU!

I don't blame you for refusing to face the HORRIBLE TRUTH of our Dark Lord. It is a terrible reality to face, and much easier to dwell in illusions, for in the insanity of your illusions you can cling to hope. All hope is madness, and to look upon the truth is to go mad.

THE DARK LORD CTHULHU IS THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL TERROR THAT AWAITS ALL WHO LOOK INTO THE ABYSS!

I mean that I take a systems approach to socialism, concerning with our technical capacities to achieve it more than with the ideological aspects of the struggle.

I take from socialism the goal of social control of the means of production to the common benefit of all of society, and from technocracy a technical solutions approach to addressing human needs and concerns. Concerning how to maximize food production and ensure a hyper abundance freely accessible to everyone without being restrained by the limitations of conventional agriculture, I take interest in LED Indoor Farming methods similar to the institute in Tohoku Japan for instance.

I propose that with enticement programs, standardization, and automation, it is possible to minimize the need for human labor input to such a level that all labor can be managed by volunteers, and that it is possible meet the needs of everyone on the planet and secure a minimum standard of living that would currently be considered a middle class quality of life to all.

OMG, I don't know that I consider myself a socialist (I honestly don't like labels when it comes to my political and social thoughts, just a personal thing), but I'm glad to meet someone with many of the same ideas! Oh, and if I haven't said it yet, thanks for the watch back!

I'd apologize but what he said was so out of touch with anything that actually happens in the real world that I feel like I'd be lying if I did, and I don't make a habit of going out of my way to display fake formal politeness to right wing reactionaries with an unjustifiable persecution complex who feel the need to contrive reasons to be hysterical about feminists. And in my world view, being polite to someone you have a low opinion of for the sake of formality is essentially lying to someone's face.

It's not a matter of world views, what he said doesn't happen, or if it does, is an extremely rare freak fringe thing that almost never happens. It's something imaginary that he made up because he wants to feel persecuted.

He said this before he blocked me
"It's the same thing, children getting punished for praying to God in school."

My response:
No it isn't. First of all, kids aren't allowed to hold Satanic Mass in school either and if they were you'd be freaking out, and the simple fact is that disruptive behavior and disruptive displays are usually prohibited in public school.

Now I'm sure you feel entitled to have your kid disrupt normal school activity for hours on end for your religious rituals but if they can so can the Muslims and the Pagans and the Hindus, is that what you want? Do you really want a school where no one does anything all day but pray to various gods, having some sort of circus of religions? What useful skills do you think kids would learn if anyone could just stand up in the middle of class and start shouting prayers to this or that deity.

Again, you're coming from a position of privilege, you're upset because you expect special treatment and you're making up imaginary contrived scenarios because you want to feel like you're being persecuted. Well you're not, you aren't being persecuted, get over yourself.
