A Libertarian Socialist hates our American governments because they initiate societal force to establish and protect systems of private property.

More than that. anarcho-communism more accurately describes their viewpoint. This, as I have already pointed out, runs contrary to those of the LP.

A Libertarian Party members hates our American governments because they initiate societal force to establish and protect systems of public property.

"Public Property" is a bit of a misnomer if you think about it. Groups cannot have more Rights than any Individual it is comprised of. To assume so falls into the "democracy=mob rule" pit where 51% can vote to enslave the other 49%. If those "protection systems" destroy individual Liberty and Rights, then they have no place in our system of governance.

You fail to grasp that fact time and again. You have no interest in preserving individual Rights, but only in furthering the "Republican"-ized version of the socialist expansion taking over our government. The only thing worse than someone like you, is the liberals in the Dim and Green parties who do not hide their hate for our Country behind a thin venear of "conservatism".

Not at all. The tenets of your cult philosophy have little relationship to the real world.

"democracy=mob rule"

Anarchy=mob rule.

You have no interest in preserving individual Rights

Individual rights aren't a free lunch which falls like manna from the ghost of Ayn Rand.

"It is agreed by those who have seriously considered the subject, that no individual has, of natural right, a separate property in an acre of land, for instance. By an universal law, indeed, whatever, whether fixed or movable, belongs to all men equally and in common, is the property for the moment of him who occupies it, but when he relinquishes the occupation, the property goes with it. Stable ownership is the gift of social law, and is given late in the progress of society."
--Thomas Jefferson

Our American systems of law and government provide the greatest protections for individual rights that the world has ever known.

Libertarian Socialists and their LP cousins both seek the destruction of those systems, differing only in which end of the egg they want start with.
