26. Is there such a thing as a Capitalist Libertarian Socialist?
I think that's what I am. I think there should be

social safety nets

a concept of doing things for "the public good"

very heavy regulation and control of corporations

education, health care and justice for everyone, not just those who can afford it

a free market but subject to the aforementioned corporate controls

virtually unfettered individual freedom -- unless you are harming someone else.

In other words, individual citizens get pretty much left the hell alone while government and corporate power are severely limited and focused on the public good.
