Libertarian Socialism

“Marx himself WAS a libertarian socialist, an extremely libertarian one at that, and a lot of his models and theories were the building blocks for working nations”

This is my best attempt at a rebuttal, do what you want with it.

1) Marx could've been a libertarian trying to create a good system, but that doesn't mean that others were & are and 2) It has been said that Marx's manifesto (manifestos are typical written by authoritarian figures) is considered dumb 3) Usually, if your an American Marxist, your usually pretty low I.Q 4) Communist killed around 94 million people 5) Communism & Fascism are very similar, so if you call yourself a Marxist or Communist or whatever you call yourself, you're also a Fascist because you want to get rid of people's rights & personal freedoms &…  Read more; make everyone loyal to the federal government, 6) You can be a Communist in a Free country, but try being Free in a Communist country, 7) On the note of Fascism, the Nazi party's full name was the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), notice the wording? That's how most Socialists word their party's & country names, they usually use a mix of Workers' & Social in their party. Furthermore, a lot of Democrats have Marxist philosophies, Critical Race theory is from Marxism. (Also note I'm not an expert, I'm just an American who votes based on God, Guns & Liberty)

“If countries supported socialist countries, they’d actually succeed, since socialism in its extremely authoritarian forms actually does work, the issue lies with international cooperation, which drastically reduces the need for any kind of government power on the scale like the USSR. It’s not just possible, it’s the natural state of socialism to be less authoritarian, but other nations make that difficult intentionally because the concept of a working socialist country would uproot capitalism itself.”

This section disagrees with itself. You admit socialism works best under authoritarian rule, which is the case, and there has to be an individual or a group that can enforce that rule. To call socialism communal, especially to say this communal thought process is in the best interests of the greater majority, if not the whole, is at best a misnomer, specifically because someone must be in control somewhere. Capitalism actually does flourish when there are less controls over it, especially when there are less people trying to oversee everything. These people can in fact be bought and told to…  Read more look away. In a truly capitalist society, there is no one that can be bought and competitors will always be looking for mistakes from their competition and how to improve upon, aka fix, those mistakes. The problem becomes, later if under monitor, that businesses are too afraid to make the same mistakes or look like they are doing the same because that will hurt their public image. So problems get swept under the rug instead of confronted. So if you really are concerned about a communal greater good, it would be healthier to look into a true capitalist society (that currently does not exist).
