Perfect summary of what I lived under.

Hitler destroyed the worker unions so could not be socialist, he also barred universal health care to non aryan.

In conclusion he has his facts wrong

It's a tricky conundrum, because Left Libertarianism emphasizes localized egalitarian efforts, which on the one hand emphasizes the self-ownership of workers but simultaneously weakens the self-ownership of capital holders. A good example of the system in action would be a democratic workplace, such as a co-op. Whether or not protecting one group's self-ownership at the expense of another's self-ownership can be counted as Libertarian is the heat of the conundrum.

@SocialistCatgirl Thanks, I will. From where I stand now, and from what I know, you can't really have a "left libertarian". A libertarian believes in the first principal of personal liberty, and once you establish that you believe in that, you have in effect subscribed to believe a certain way about individual issues. To be a left libertarian would render your first principal inconsistant and thus your belief a fallacy.

Well, it wouldn't really be fascism if the government was taking initiatives that were not to the entire population's liking. Under such a definition, every government across the globe is Fascist. Fascism is a system where you hold the state as the ultimate ideal and marry industrialism to autocracy. Its heavy emphasis on nationalism tends to lend itself well to totalitarianism.

There are libertarian variants of Socialism you might like. Left Libertarianism is worth a look.

@SocialistCatgirl I acknowledge that their are discernable differences, but from my strict libertarian standpoint, I see them as only valuable if every last person is in full consent of the socialist measures. If one single person does not consent to his property being taken from him, it's fascism. You're arguing price, not principal.
