Oh man. Aren't any of you over with me? I'm getting lonely.
Yes Charlatan. I was referring to that question. I guess I think that to be far bottom left, you have to consider that some people in your commune may chose not to produce. And if you are extreme left, you will likely support them anyway. I have way too big of a "personal responsibility" streak to get my head around that. However, before your reply, please note that in my books personal responsibility does include charity and assistance to those in need. Just not to those who can't be bothered.
Vox, libertarian, anarchism and communism (all small letters as in ideologies not parties) seem to get thrown around together and moved around to mean different things. Certainly, communism is extreme left of the libertarian view but of Anarchists and Libertarians (capital letters) there are left and right. Normally, anarchists are seen as left thought there are many who accept the concept of private property. Normally, Libertarians (capital letter again) are extreme right. However, there are some "social libertarians" who are to the left.
In other words, I'm not far enough right for most Libertarians. The problems I have with the bottom right is uncontrolled corporatization. But, the only understanding I have of corporations is how they operate in a lame democratic system like ours where they receive welfare, run amok and are in tight with the ruling class.
It may be (???) that in a perfect free market, libertarian society, corporations would operate to the benefit of the population. I can't see it but I can't say for sure.
It's interesting that both these extreme systems fail because of people. The left can't deal with sloth. The right can't deal with greed.
