Damn Einzige, this is good.

I know I'm not going to get cool points from other forum members and I am not kissing your ass when I say this but out of everybody here you're definitely the forum member I most identify with.

I occasionally drift toward left libertarianism myself. In the past few days I've been moving back towards it (look at how much lower my economic score is, though that isn't a perfect indicator). I tend to view free market socialism as the greatest possible system for humanity, in other words true social and economic equality can not be achieved by the corrupt and evil state but only through the purity of a free humanity.

If given absolute freedom, will not those who are self-serving corrupt the socialist society to their own ends?

Except that in an absolute free society the thugs of the state, the military industrial complex, is nonexistent. The uninhibited outrage of society would overthrow those who would dare corrupt the system. Power is impossible to gain when all the hierarchies of power have been overthrown.
I'm talking about libertarian socialism, which is a bit more extreme than left libertarianism.
