RE: Can "communist" be a type of libertarian?
It's hard to see a mass murder machine as being "aesthetically unpleasing," lol that's just my emotional reaction though. I get your point, voluntary could mean just about any system.
Commies insist that "the free market" is a mass murder machine, using Nazi Germany and the US as their examples. While this is less rational than citing the Soviet Union as proof that Communism is totalitarianism inclined toward mass murder, it does indicate that people have different aesthetic preferences when it comes to the society they want, or imagine they want.
Matter of perspective I guess, I love how fascism is equated with a free market in those arguments. But if you compare it to the soviet union it does look pretty free in that the government does not directly set prices in the U.S. at the moment.
