Libertarian socialism with democracy in the workplace woud be a better alterantive that libertarian capitalism ... we're just stuck in the end of history way of thinking that people cant grasp life without capitalism
The thing is, there really is no such thing as libertarian capitalism. Capitalism cannot exist without the state, they're essentially two necessary sides of the same coin. American "libertarianism" can really be described as a (successful) attempt to obfuscate that fact in the minds of capitalist subjects (Especially the most socially and financially privileged of those subjects). To make it seem like nothing good has been the result of competent governance, that it's all great men unburdened by regulation, unbridled by law. Really though, all the coercive might of capitalism deflates without the violent capacity of the state.
Yeah , agree 100% ... great man theory of history rly pisses me off , plus the whole "capitalism is best without regulations" bullshit , people forgot the first gilded age and the fight of the unions to give people some semblance of decency in the workplace
