Fwd: Michael Scandirito on the lack of difference between left and right libertarianism
Dear Kevin, I'm having a little FB debate with Michael above who claims that there are only 'semantic' differences between yourself and anarcho-capitalism, which strikes me as wrong, even though there may of course be a trend of some libertarians moving to the left ... I'd love to copy a quote of you on this matter, with your perspective, Michel ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Facebook <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 2:32 AM Subject: Michael Scandirito commented on your link.

Michael wrote: "There is no doubt in the preferential differences between the two, but the disagreements are mostly linguistic, rather than the possibility of either manifestation in both of their advocacy of free market libertarianism. Most an-caps have moved a little further away from the Mises institute (whose contributions can be attributed to the pro-Wal Mart classical liberalism or 'old right' thought) and moved toward left-Rothbardian thought as well as agorism and mutualism, seeing them as an extension of capitalism based on their views of private property. Most anarcho-capitalists I communicate with on a regular basis are anti-Wal Mart and most mutualists anti-AFL-CIO."

I'm not sure from the quote what he'd consider a substantive difference, as opposed to a semantic one. -- Kevin Carson Center for a Stateless Society http://c4ss.org Mutualist Blog: Free Market Anti-Capitalism http://mutualist.blogspot.com The Homebrew Industrial Revolution: A Low-Overhead Manifesto http://homebrewindustrialrevolution.wordpress.com Organization Theory: A Libertarian Perspective http://mutualist.blogspot.com/2005/12/studies-in-anarchist-theory-of.html
