@mynameisnate hi. Welcome. What’s a #leftlibertarian? Does it fit on the left/right spectrum? Not that it has to. Just curious as it’s the first time I come across that sensibility. I’m a socialist CEO, just in case you wonder were I come from with my question.

Here's an #Introduction post, since I recently moved to mastodon.green.

I'm Mark, I'm 61. I live in a small village in the East of England, with my partner, our 3 children, 6 cats, 2 dogs and an itinerant collection of ducks and moorhens.

I'm a Parish Councillor, a member of the Witham and Braintree Green Party, #LeftLibertarian, #Vegan, and pro-EU.

I'm a satellite communication engineer working in spectrum licencing and regulation.

Happy to connect with like-minded people!

I guess I better do this #Introduction thing. I'm a proud husband and father (to two fine young men - thanks to their mum).

For the last 15+ years I have been building websites on #WordPress, mainly I work with charities and get a real kick out of helping them achieve their goals.

Politically #LeftLibertarian

Apart from my family what makes me happy is #Music, #Film, #Photography, #Art, #Football, #Reading, #Comics, #SciFi, #Noir...

Love my walks in the #Brecons.

Time for an #Introduction post, I think.

“#Individualism is good in its place, as qualified & balanced by #socialism; but the experience of the world shows clearly that individualism unbalanced by socialism, & socialism unbalanced by individualism, lead always to disastrous social & political crises.”

@clacke #LeftLibertarian groups like #C4SS defines capitalism the way #Marx did, as the use of centralized power to centralize wealth. So they are anti-capitalist, but they define voluntary association in a way that includes trade using currencies. This inherently creates markets of some kind, but their ideal is more like bazaars than the cathedrals of Wall St. Reading a few of the essays in 'Markets not Capitalism' might shed some light:

@gme @maloki for example, some of the people I discuss tech with sometimes express vaguely #alt-right sounding ideas. I'm happy to debate these (I'm a #LeftLibertarian / #anarchist), but that doesn't mean I can't block alt-right trolls who are just blowing smoke in my face.
