Eric Blair uses the word socialism in a way that is somewhat different from modern usage and especially he is not communist "Unfortunately, many in America equate Socialism with Soviet Communism.".
- AndyNemmity 2y agoThat isn't different in modern usage, Libertarian Socialism has nothing to do with Soviet Communism. Libertarian Socialism, means Anarchism, the topic of this thread. And the reason why America equates Socialism with Soviet Communism is the same reason America associates Libertarianism with Right Wing Corporatism. Propaganda.
- vidarh 2y agoLibertarian Socialism also includes groups that do not consider themselves anarchist, such as Libertarian Marxist. All of which are closer to and more sympathetic to anarchism than "Soviet Communism", though.
