Alexander,
Basically what you have is a long continium called socialism. You
seem to be presently at the one end discussing socialism in abstract terms,
attempting to re-label yourself to disassociate yourself from the many
failures of socialism. You want the protective coloration of labeling
yourself as Libertarian (socialist) but that has all been done before. In
the 19th century you (plural) re-labeled yourself Liberal, in Germany you
became a National Socialist, in Russia you became a communist, in China I
understand you are Maoists. Now, as I have stated, the term socialist stinks
to high heaven so you seek to be a libertarian-socialist. But you do not
give us a clear cut definition of how you differ for a simple reason, you are
still the same old socialist.
As you progress toward the other end of that river you will take on
more and more power, more and more brutality, and reduce your citizenry more
and more to being slaves. After you collapse another like you will arise and
the relabeling process will begin again. For two hundred years that has been
your pattern.
