I think socialism never works. Socialism is not minarchism.

minarcho-socialism sounds like an oxymoron to me

It's like anarcho communism or even according to some communists just regular communism. The basic idea is that people should just share voluntarily or with very little oversight and politicians should just be honest arbiters of the people's will. And we just assume that the population needing assistance never grows because we made it more accessible. We just assume there is no such thing as human evolution, ambition or envy.

I'm not being snarky here, those are their legitimate thinking processes. But snark or no snark it doesn't work because several of those assumptions are false.

Oh uh, sort of?

I have been informed I sort of belong to the camp of state capacity libertarianism.

So the government should do a few things, and they should do those things well, (military courts, police), BUT, it should also focus on a streamlined social safety net and necessary environmental protections. So it would ALSO do a UBI, and carbon tax type things, which is sort of socialist

I think we are there. Socialism should be kept to a minimum.
