Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!
Rules:
- Be respectful
- Don't be a nazi
- Argue about the point and not the person
- This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

Can anyone explain LibSoc vs. Bernie/EU-style socialism? It's not just a means of craming free-market bs into social safety, is it?
Nope, it's not. "Libertarian socialism" and "anarchism" are often used more-or-less interchangeably, though I'm sure someone will take issue with that categorization. The pro-capitalist usage of the word "libertarian" is an appropriation of a leftist term by the right.
Democratic socialism is often seen as a form of libertarian socialism as well. There are actually a bunch of different left-lib modes which are a bit more moderate that outright anarchy.
