Sorry, Jihad, but if you think that socialist tripe bears any relationship to modern libertarianism (other that prominent juxtaposition of the words 'libertarian' and 'communist'), you are delusional. As we use the terms, libertarian and communist are antonyms, and the juxtaposition constitutes an oxymoron. The modern Libertarian Party has absolutely nothing to do with "Libertarian Communism", and their characterization of us is nothing more nor less than propaganda.

It sounds like the Libertarian Communists hold the views that wage-slavery and money in general are forms of force and fraud and the employing class are social and economic parasites as bad as any governmental bureaucrat, and would call the L.P. "statists" for their apparently authoritarian views. If you have an issue with that you'll have to settle such internecine warfare between yourselves.
