Well in that case I’m away to take a walk in the rain to dry off.

Yea my bad obviously I misunderstood your comment, I’ll delete that reply 🤦‍♂️

It is contradictory to its very core, that was my initial point.

No I just don’t understand how somebody today can use that phase together with a straight face. Socialism is impossible without an imposing government.

They are free to do what you’ve suggested in capitalist/libertarian economies. If it’s beneficial then these companies and private individuals should thrive. I think what you are suggesting is employees and companies are forced to partake in that structure, which is usually the bottom line of socialist structure, the advocates insist that everyone use their stupid system cos they think they know best for others.

Nice try but they are capitalist countries. Quote: “Lars Rasmussen knows better. As Danish Prime Minister, he declared in 2015, “I know that some people in the U.S. associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore, I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy.”” Full article: https://fee.org/articles/don-t-call-scandinavian-countries-socialist/

I don’t claim to be an expert in libertarianism, but I know their core principles, and any form of socialism is a coercive government, and that is in direct opposition to libertarian views.

🤦‍♂️ I’ve listened to several debates with this guy. He not as pro socialist as you may think. it’s not about the government simply doing stuff, the problem libertarians have with socialism is when the government coerces one group of people to provide for another group of people.

That’s a long way of saying you’re a left wing imbecile 🙄 But in all seriousness, if you think universal basic income and free healthcare is libertarian, you don’t know anything about libertarianism.

It is 100% contradictory. Show me 1 socialist government past or present that isn’t a totalitarian nightmare. Libertarians support ideas like mutual consent between private parties, property rights, free markets, captialism. Government should only exist to protect the individuals life, freedom and property. Socialism shits in the face of all these beliefs.

No such thing as libertarian socialist. It’s an oxymoron. Libertarians want vastly limited government. Socials want government to control basically everything. You can’t be both
