Definitions

What if I told you socialism was a philosophy that simply asked that all communal human actions should be managed as much as possible by consent and consultation of all those affected by them. And that libertarianism was a fantasy that cannot exist in a global technical society that has to be highly organized or it cannot function at all. In fact, it can't survive in any realistic human community of competing interests and cooperating individuals. A libertarian is just an anarchist who owns property.

I didn't think that these concepts were this fluid, but I can discard my definitions and work from yours if you want. Can you tighten them down a bit more? "Consent and consultation" for example.

"Organization" does not demand force, it merely asks for cooperation.

As "V" said, the word "anarchy" means "without leaders," not "without order."
