i am a Libertarian, so no-one has tried what i have suggested yet

Not to come across as a jerk, but nothing you can suggest has not been tried. It just hasn't worked.
The saying absolute power corrupts absolutely fits very well here.
Some of the worst atrocities in humanity started with the best of intentions.

forget it, you clearly dont understand my points, neither does Kasz, ill just leave you wondering, i got my points, im sorry that you didnt

It's not that I don't get your points, it's that centralizing power fails, in everything.
It's why I am a libertarian (American version). Decentralize power as much as posable. Push power down to the states, and then down to the countries, and down to the people.
In history, there has never been a government that was given more power, and became less corrupt. Ever.
To that argument, when has a law ever been passed in the US, that gave Washington less power? And, in the next 4 years, the power given to washington will greatly increase. (Washington will buy it).
Herein lies the problem we are at today.

when did i talk about doing that?
|
It's the only way to get to a Libertarian socialist world.
Because for a Libertarian socalist world to work... you basically have to do what Marx suggested.
Brainwash people.

wtf? i dont understand how you came to that conclusion at all
i really think youve confused my points somewhere along the line, i want people to have freedom and good public services, while maintaining a socialist economic system to make sure that the economy works for the people, i would do this by creating localised banking systems to benefit the local community

This is what your talking about right?
As long as people are who they are they will struggle compete and act in capitalist ways. Capitalism isn't new. Capitalism is how people naturally act.
It's just capitalism takes out the state from interfering with peoples natural insticts for competition. Whether or not this is good or bad is argueable... but your basically argueing from a position of...
"What if i person isn't a person."
It's trying to merge modified anarcism but without all the bad things that entails.
