I think reading this, I have concluded that libertarian socialism is a massive oxymoron. Anyone who has defended the notion has mostly directly or indirectly has can back to the idea of government of enforcing those socialist values on to a society.
I see a lot of theoretical talk on here but pretty much can we skip the bullshit and just realize in todays world....
Progressives require a large big government enforcing progressive values onto society for their vision of society to come to fruition.
Because that is the only realistic way that will ever happen, and I find the justification that it can libertarian in nature turning into sort of theoretical exercise with no correlation to the politics of the current times.
Its rather simple, if a progresive governmnet wants me to have public healthcare for the bettr of all, I cannot for example seek private health care in Canada on my own...
If a society wants to put a cap on CEO pay to close the wage gap and be more equal, it is not being libertarian.
Pretty much I think its time to call a spade a spade.
