And by this year it's basically every year where americans are concerned (the first comment thinking this is a great own in the wiki talk page about libertarian socialism dates back to the year the page was created)

Honestly people losing their poo poo at working with either marxists or anarchists are loving annoying because some movements would have trouble getting enough boots on the ground for much without either group unless they attract the attention of anything bigger.

Mandatory service is, it's not defensible. Make it voluntary, make it attractive, don't tie it to state power, don't tie it to a program for cultural homogeneity, and maybe it might not seem reprehensible.

Everyday it is exceedingly clear that liberals hold no true values and easily retreat into racism, transphobia, and homophobia when confronted and we should have no relationship with them but one where the goal is to destroy them

I don't think it's a bad thing to use a theoretical national works program or even a conscription program as a glorified technical school for anyone not already going to college or w.e.

Even the heinous imperialist military isn't very nationalist or imperialist leaning among the actual rank and file so IDK how a mandatory program would somehow immediately become NATIONAL SOCIALISM

I'm not saying it's nazism, I'm saying it's not super socialist. You can easily set up programs within unions and other associations and establish trade schools and poo poo without going "citizen, to the national parks, go" about it.

I like the term libertarian socialism because it totally bamboozles American style right-libertarians. "Oh, you're a libertarian? So is this guy Bookchin, you should read him." Then BAM, all of a sudden they support the abolition of private property :cool:
