THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROGRESSIVISM/SOCIALISM and LIBERTARIANISM/ANARCHO-CAPITALISM

anticapitalist:

freedomwithoutexception:

Progressivism/Socialism: believes that the state can legislate in such a way that all results and prosperity will be equal and plentiful for everyone.

Progressivism and Socialism are not equals and have differing ideologies.

Progressivism entails capitalism regulated by the state.

Socialism entails worker control of the means of production and can occur without the state.

Libertarianism/Anarcho-Capitalism: believes that no collection of legislative force, even with the best intentions, could ever overcome the difficulty of providing guaranteed equality of results while also preserving individual freedom. Some people would suffer in a libertarian society. Anti-statists acknowledge the reality that there will be inequality regardless of what kind of government (or lack-thereof) we have. Therefore, the only prudent and moral goal of societal progression must be the respect of freedom, the protection of basic rights, the non-aggression principle, and a lack of positive or negative discrimination against any individuals or groups under the law.

Is opposed to a single entity (the state) using violence or force to control a populace that occupies a given area of land/property

Instead, it prefers having entities (capitalists) use violence and force to control the populace who occupy/use a given area of land/property

I fixed this for you.

Wait, so right-libertarianism and ‘anarcho’-capitalism are basically responses to strawmen of progressivism and state socialism? Interesting…
