        I see. Well, I guess that’s the problem with a federated social media system. Rules for the entire system, with identical subs, and never really knowing where you are.

        What’s this hexbear instance about?

              Yes for sure. If you mean actual democratic socialist ideology, like Evo Morales, Allende or Nelson Mandela, then yes. Hexbear is a left wing unity website.

              If you mean social democracy, such as the Nordic/Scandinavian countries, then probably not. Though you’re always welcome to stick around and engage in good faith.

                Well, west? I mean, I think the corrupt rich from everywhere on the globe are the problem, and while they may give lip service to the east/west, they’re all-in together.

                  The bourgeoisie aren’t anyone’s friends but their own, but there are places where they are more and less in charge, and there are larger and smaller coalitions, with the larger naturally being more malicious, though they tend to export that malice further from where they rest their heads for reasons of security.

        Well, someone else said it means libertarian…. People shouldn’t use shorthand when so many other words in the same topic use the same.

          its a shared colloquial understanding on the english-speaking western internet that “lib/libs” is shorthand for “liberal/liberals” in the vast majority of cases, the person who told you it meant “libertarian” was probably looking for the word “lolbert”

            My bad, I should have clarified that to the rest of the world outside of the US, “liberal” means “Liberal, Conservative, Libertarian”.

              libertarian-approaching

              The political tendency in America that describe themselves as “Libertarians” are extremely individualist, pro-capitalists who are absolutists about private property and essentially believe that instead of a government all social entities should be private corporations that contract with each other and individuals to form society. Ie instead of a city having a civic government there would be a corporation that privately owns all the property and leases it, a corporation that owns the streets, a corporation that provides police and military services, but only to people who contracts. Many of them don’t go that far, but strongly believe that there should be little or no government regulation or interference in the economy.

              It’s a very unrealistic system and non-libertarians, ie almost all Leftists and almost all Democrats, along with a good proportion of Fascists (GOP and their allies) don’t take Libertarians seriously.
