Granpa also thinks you can have such a thing as "libertarian socialism".
You can and do. You can't have a libertarian who supports big government, but socialism does not necessarily equate to big government. I have explained this several times to people on this board, yet still the message appears to have evaded attention.

Libertarian Socialism

Quote:
Capitalism is the antithesis of Slavery, because Capitalism is based upon mutually beneficial voluntary exchange.
Capitalism protects property from the clutches of the majority and keeps those rights in the hands of an elite minority. The vast majority of people, are kept by capitalism, in a position of economic disenfranchisement, with zero options but to other than conform to the society which caters only for this elite minority. Which accounts for the expression 'wage slave'. That is what capitalism is and always will be, a method for the rich to protect them selves.


Society may be formed so as to exist without crime, without poverty, […] no obstacle whatsoever intervenes at this moment except ignorance to prevent such a state of society.

Robert Owen
