the very idea of a "libertarian socialist" is an oxymoron. It doesn't compute. Sure, we are "libertarian socialists" in a sense within our families or circles of friends, in a manner of speaking, but we are not coerced by external agents to be nice, or socialist, to our family and friends. Therein lies the reason why "libertarian socialist" is such an oxymoron." Tim. "but we are not coerced by external agents to be nice, or socialist, to our family and friends."
What if the coercing external agent were operation soft drill? It cant be the anarchist police can it? Under libertarian socialism (anarchism)the only external coercive agents possible would be distributed,available to all and anonymous.External coercive agents are a distinguishing feature of authoritarian socialism and corporate capitalism.Anarchy (libertarian socialism)is the best way forward to minimize external coercion (violence) Operation soft drill while it allows for inevitable violence,it should keep it to an absolute minimum once it takes off.A computer in every village is as important as a well.This AP idea is the justice system for the whole wired world. Crypto-anarchy needs justice or it will fail.
