Ok just trying to understand this lifestyle. I’m all for libertarian socialism I just wonder how AI plays into it and was interested when I saw the AI banner.
Most arguments against computer generated content is based on “IP” which anarchists reject.
When it comes to issues of the environment, efficiency, etc., the generated content becomes more problematic. But realistically the planet isn’t being destroyed by people generated images of witches, etc. It’s mostly a lib distraction in service of capital/IP. We have much bigger problems.
In a word, no. This question is often asked by those who have come across the so-called “libertarian” right. As discussed in section A.1.3, the word “libertarian” has been used by anarchists for far longer than the pro-free market right have been using it. In fact, anarchists have been using it as a synonym for anarchist for over 150 years, since 1858. In comparison, widespread use of the term by the so-called “libertarian” right dates from the 1970s in America (with, from the 1940s onwards, limited use by a few individuals). Indeed, outside of North America “libertarian” is still essentially used as an equivalent of “anarchist” and as a shortened version of “libertarian socialist.”

Oh interesting this is the best answer yet!
It doesn’t.
Libertarian socialism is an oxymoron.
There’s a chapter on AFAQ with this exact question: https://anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionI.html#seci1
Isn’t that this?
