You believe in a society where individuals enjoy both personal freedom and collective ownership, aiming for a more equitable distribution of resources and power.
Libertarian Socialism is a political philosophy that advocates for the abolition of both the state and capitalism, favoring a society based on voluntary, cooperative institutions. These institutions would be owned and managed democratically by the people who use them or work in them. Libertarian Socialism is also known as left-libertarianism, socialist libertarianism, or anarchism. It is a broad category of political philosophies, which oppose authoritarian state intervention in the lives of individuals, while also opposing the injustice of economic inequality, which they believe is perpetu…

How might your perspective on success change in a society where collective well-being is the priority?
@9LBNHMJ1mo1MO
Libertarian socialists tend to see the working class as agents of social revolution, reject representative democracy and electoralism, and advocate for self-organisation and direct action as means to engage in class conflict.
@9LBNR331mo1MO
I think success would be defined different since you now have different goals.
I think that this would positively affect many people because our well beings would be better and more taken care of.
@9LBNHGN1mo1MO
People being happy is good but also our economy is important
@ISIDEWITH1mo1MO
What motivates you to help others, and would these motivations increase in a more cooperative society?
@9LBNWMQ1mo1MO
The thing that motivates me to help others is self gain. This would help literally everyone.
@9LBNTLKWomen’s Equality1mo1MO
I think in a more cooperative society, I would feel more inclined to help others. Even now I do what I can for those who are less fortunate and spread awareness where I can.
@9LBNK551mo1MO
I think its okay and helping others is what makes you human
@9LBNKRS1mo1MO
Jesus motivated me to help others, this motivation would increase if more people would accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
@ISIDEWITH1mo1MO
Can you describe a time when working in a team led to a better outcome than working individually?
@9LFQMZW4wks4W
When I was doing a science project we was able to finish faster by working together than by ourselves
@9LKM2MR3wks3W
Yes, with team building skills and collaboration through working with creative differences work can be finish to all of everyone's best of ability along with different perspectives on how to get the work done more efficiently.
@9LFQGF44wks4W
Libertarian socialists advocate the empowerment of individuals to control their own lives and encourage them to voluntarily cooperate, rather than allow themselves to be controlled by a state.
@9LFR3JZ4wks4W
When we had to complete a project that had many requirements and little time to complete it.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Can you think of a scenario where collective good may clash with individual desires, and how might this be navigated?
@9HZ7KYX4mos4MO
I think when people are in charge of their individual selves and there is no other authority, it could easily become chaotic. The government is meant to protect and support the people.
@9HZ7K4S4mos4MO
When theirs is anyone with a biased view. Which is everyone
Vaccination, we could navigate it by documenting all the exact steps in the process to make the vaccine, helping skeptical adults make a decision based on real evidence and cutting out guessing.
@9HZ7TRR4mos4MO
Individual desires should in no way hold priority over the collective good.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How do peer-to-peer interactions in your life compare to those mediated by institutions or corporations?
@9KN9HXBPeace and Freedom2mos2MO
I do not support Libertarian Socialism because I like peer to peer interaction.
@9L5N8X2 1mo1MO
Could you explain where the two come into conflict?
@9KN9JPW2mos2MO
Most people that are peers of mine don't like liberals as much
@9KN8X6Z2mos2MO
Peer to peer interactions defiantly have a bigger impact on me then anything else.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How do you define freedom in your life, and how might that change under a different social system?
@9HT3BYY4mos4MO
I think that for my freedom it is to be able to express without fear of being judged, obviously with due respect for other people and opinions
@9HWGZML4mos4MO
I agree with the statement to a point. I don't think freedom means having no fear of judgement. We have the freedom to jump out of a airplane, that doesn't mean we won't get hurt. Same with freedom of speech. You have the freedom to say whatever you want, but that does not mean everyone will like it or agree or feel tolerant towards it. But we have the freedom to say it anyways. We, clearly in view of our laws, do not have the freedom to do whatever we want. So speak all you like, but if the words turn to action and that action breaks the law, your freedoms end pretty quickly.
@9HT4BPCWomen’s Equality4mos4MO
the ability to do stuff and have the freedom to do so and under a social system I cant js do whatever. there's still laws obviously and rules we have to follow kind of like they say in school but bigger rules that apply to adults and EVERYONE.
@9HT36HS4mos4MO
Freedom is my ability to live how i want to. it may change and be more challenging
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What does it mean to be successful, and would your definition change in a society that values collective over individual success?
To be successful, is to be aware of what is going on around yourself. To be able to understand and seek the truth behind all the lies that are spreading throughout the entertainment industry. To Chose what will impact yourself and everyone around you for that better.
@9HZ6ZXG4mos4MO
To me being successful is getting the career or job of your job that you enjoy. My definition wouldn't change in a society that values collective over individual success
@9HZ6R7T4mos4MO
To make a difference in their community, and no it would not change.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Have you ever been part of a group where everyone had an equal voice, and how did that make you feel?
@9HT3D7M4mos4MO
I have and it made me feel heard and that what I was saying was relevant.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How might your relationships with others change if your community operated on mutual aid?
@9HYFPZP4mos4MO
We would become more reliant and closer as people, but this would make it so there is no ¨backbone¨ to a community so if it were to fall apart it would be very difficult to save it. Ive never lived in a city that was large so I cant say how it would work with that many different thought processes but in a small town I think it would work pretty well.
@9HYBLS5 4mos4MO
i would help anyone, regardless of race or gender, i aint a bad person like others
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Do you believe a community can provide for all its members effectively; why or why not?
@9HX83FGRepublican4mos4MO
No. It will kill the drive to come up with new ideas.
@9CJ6CB62mos2MO
a large amount of new ideas came from nations considered by many to be socialist.
@9HX7SLXRepublican4mos4MO
The term "community" and "effectively" can be redefined too much. It does not generate wealth.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
If there were no grades or monetary rewards at school, what would motivate you to learn?
@9L5N8X21mo1MO
Curiosity. The pure love of knowledge. All children have it, it only disappears if the teacher isn’t engaging.
@9JQKNW73mos3MO
The use of being able to learn in order to graduate for the yeae
@9JRKH8W3mos3MO
The opportunity to obtain a better career later in life, as well as the innately rewarding act of increasing one's knowledge would motivate me.
