Libertarian forms of capitalism are of a free market type That CAN include such 'socialist' examples as 'co-ops' (ownership shared by a defined 'society' of consumers of the products and/or services provided by an enterprise)
Authoritarian forms of capitalism are of a govt intervention type NEO-mercantilism is a form of authoritarian capitalism characterized by govt interventions and is also called by some 'monopol-capitalism' (as in 'monopoly via force') LIBERTARIANS reject the AUTHORITARIAN forms of BOTH 'socialism' and 'capitalism' imposed by INITIATION of brute physical force (or threat) usually via STATISM Libertarianism supports the right of each person to do what ever each decides of their own free will EXCEPT to initiate, or do a credible threat to initiate, physical force upon the person or justly held possessions of another. -Terry Liberty Parker PleaseSee: Your Freedom & the Rights of Others at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/22990 --- In [email protected], "Edward J.
