Can libertarian socialists and capitalist libertarians function as one party?

[NuGnostic]

Yes, these people who probably identify themselves as socialists. They really aren't socialists?

Most don't identify themselves as socialists actually. And the Nazis called themselves socialists but they weren't and North Korea calls itself democratic and is not.

I was only refering to socialists, those people are a whole different tradition and certainly have little to do with libertarian socialism which is on the far left of real socialism.

Go to Revleft.com, the main socialist message board on the net, and see what they feel of New Dealers and social democrats.

Hi NuGnostic,

They identify themselves as social democrats. The major political parties in Europe are largely supportive of social democracies, including the French Socialist Party and the English Labor Party.

Okay, thank you for clarifying that.

Thanks for that clarification also Gene.

That is fine. A definition of socialism would be impossible if you through in social democrats let American liberals.

I accept both these types. I doubt whether a party of libertarian leftist could exist on its own anyway without even getting the right involved.

You're probably right.

Wages and working conditions are particularly my concern, I'm not for reformism. I'd rather see an end to wage labour, perhaps if they were looking to take over the workplaces I'd join them.

I think reform is useful and valuable, but that's another topic isn't it.

And I'm a "free marketeer".

I'd rather see fair trade than free trade. Again that's off topic.
