Democratic socialism is a subform of libertarian socialism, little vindictive backpedling, word picking piece of 'not wanting to learn a thing'. Might be why in the graphic I posted they were used interchangeably?
Its not my job to educate you on your mistakes, just to point out what an absolute moronic statement you made in making this "basically the same, as an anarchic form of politicy/politics".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_socialism
edit: Oh, turns out we both are wrong.
Libertarian socialism,
[1] also referred to as
anarcho-socialism,
[2][3] anarchist socialism,
[4] free socialism,
[5] stateless socialism,
[6] socialist anarchism[7] and
socialist libertarianism,
[8] is an
anti-authoritarian,
anti-statist and
libertarian[9][10]political philosophy within the
socialist movement which rejects the
state socialistconception of
socialism as a
statist form where the
state retains
centralized control of the economy.
[11]
So your statement that "where does Chomsky refer to himself als an anarcho socialist, I thought he was an advocate of libertarian socialism" was tautological. (You absolutely didnt know what you were talking about.)
But it also turns out that Libertarian socialism has not that much in common with democratic socialism.
I am beyond confused.
Libertarian socialism is an anti-state socialist tendency.
Democratic socialism is a statist socialist tendency that attempts to replace capitalism overtime with gradual reforms. While both tendencies are hoping for the same general outcome (replacing capitalism with something more equitable and democratic), they are incompatible with each other because Libertarian Socialism rejects state authority while Democratic Socialism attempts to wield state authority to achieve its ends.
Are you making this argument because Wikipedia erroneously places Democratic Socialism in a category with Libertarian Socialism?
Libertarian Socialism isn't a "subform" of Democratic Socialism. Both are different tendencies or schools of thought under the wider umbrella of Socialism, alongside Left Communism, Maoism, Marxist-Leninism, Marcyism, etc.
But I don't even know why you're talking about Democratic Socialism. My discussion with Foxi never mentioned Democratic Socialism. Further, your original post mentions Social Democracy, which is a capitalist system that incorporates Socialistic programs like universal healthcare and free public transportation to mitigate some of capitalism's negative outcomes.
Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism aren't the same thing.
Here's a decent summary from
Moneyless Society of the differences between Libertarian Socialism, Democratic Socialism, and Social Democracy:
"Libertarian Socialism seeks to eliminate legislatures completely whereas Democratic Socialism retains a limited form of government in power."
"Social Democracy refers to a socioeconomic and political ideology that favors social and economic interventions for promoting social justice principles within a capitalist-oriented economy and liberal democratic polity."
"Social democracy still retains capitalist markets, which are an absolute no-no for libertarian socialists. While social democracy prioritizes the welfare of the people above all and is not opposed to the use of capitalism to achieve these objectives, libertarian socialism prioritizes power to the people above all and is completely opposed to the concentration of power and resources in the hands of the capitalists on all fronts. "
So your statement that "where does Chomsky refer to himself als an anarcho socialist, I thought he was an advocate of libertarian socialism" was tautological. (You absolutely didnt know what you were talking about.)
This is not true.
Anarcho-Syndicalism is a form of Libertarian Socialism that attempts to build a socialist society through specific forms of militant labor struggle. Most people on the left consider Libertarian Socialism to encompass a broader range of anti-state socialist tendencies, including, but not limited to Anarcho-Syndicalism. There are many other types of anti-state socialist tendencies that differ from Anarcho-Syndicalism that still fall under the umbrella of Libertarian Socialism, such as
Autonomous Marxism,
Anarcho-Communism,
Communalism.
This is not a tautology because there are distinctions between Anarcho-Syndicalism and Libertarian Socialism. A drop of water is different from a cup of water, despite them both being water.
I was curious about Chomsky because Anarcho-Syndicalism is kind of a dated term these days in the US and I had never heard Chomsky identify himself as such. I had heard him identify himself as a Libertarian Socialist several times but Foxi corrected my error.
As an aside, it is pretty frustrating to be told as a Libertarian Socialist what I do and don't believe by someone that just opened up the Wikipedia page for something I've studied and put into practice for years.
