Thank you David at Cantillon's Paradise for the plug for Mises University, which all students interested in Austrian Economics should indeed attend.

  • First off...

    Despite my psudonym, I am a Trotskyist.

    Second, shouldn't Trotskyists, Libertarians, and Democratic Socialists alighn in the fight agenst Dictatorships and Fascism?

    I am a Social Libertarian, a supporter of democrocy, and an anti-Fascist and anti-Stalinist. (Than again, arn't they the same thing?)

    We may disagree on Economics, but we do agree on freedom, yes?

  • It depends. If you think we should drastically reduce State-power without excuse, and/or eliminate the State, then there's a natural alliance there. That is, anything opposing State-power. On the other hand, if you think we need to first change the way corporations and people act, before eliminating State-power, then no there isn't.

    Regarding what happens when the State is gone, if you don't like property rights, but believe they should never-the-less be respect, there's an alliance there. STate alternatively, in a Stateless anarcho-capitalistic world, anarchist socialists would be free to set up their own communities, which operate socialistically internally. If you think this is enough, then there's a natural alliance even at the point of the State's end. If, however, you think that the entire planet needs to be socialized, then there isn't.
