Good

 * [[File:Socliber.png]] - I thought libertarianism was very scary until I read about [[File:Socliber.png]].
 * [[File:Synd.png]] - I'm not 100% economically like you, but many of your ideas inspire mine (trade unions are based.)
 * [[File:AnSynd.png]] - Damn. You're just a better version of [[File:Synd.png]] . Anarchism and "decentralized worker-controlled associations under the name of "Syndicates"? Pretty based.
 * [[File:Welf.png]] - Welfare is very awesome!
 * [[File:Dem.png]] - You have many flaws, but you're still better than [[File:Auto.png]].
 * [[File:European_Federalism.png]] - The European Union is good in my book, lets hope the Euro can counter American economic hegemony.
 * [[File:Anarchristian.png]] (the progressive one) - Christian morality isn't too bad, stuff like not killing, not stealing, I like that. And you interpret that the state is bad, very cool.
 * [[File:Ancapf.png]] - You are very underrated and ARE anarchist. You don't cause a "dictatorship of corporations", that's what the state does through government subsidies. Stopping the "too big to fail" law on businesses is incredible.

Bad

 * [[File:Gorb.png]] - You destroyed the Soviet Union, that's awesome. But, you're a self-proclaimed communist, which is disgusting. And should I talk about Black January? Yeah, I think I should. That was fucking horrendous.

 * [[File:Nazi.png]] - There is nothing good about you.
 * [[File:Neonazi_ball.png]] - Why do you exist? A war was fought to get rid of the bastard Nazis and you're trying to imitate them? What the fuck? Nothing good about you either.
 * [[File:Pinochet-hat.png]] - US-sponsored puppet, authoritarian, already bad. You're anti-communist which I respect but everything else about you I hate. (Mi general, Augusto Pinochet is a good song though.)

Cooperative Libertarianism is an ideology that combines the principles of anarcho-syndicalism, social libertarianism, free market socialism, and guild socialism into a cohesive framework. At its core, this ideology seeks to promote both individual liberty and cooperative decision-making within a society. Rejecting authoritarianism in all its forms, Cooperative Libertarianism emphasizes the mutual exclusivity of prosperity and the concentration of power.

One of the fundamental tenets of Cooperative Libertarianism is the belief in a free-market system, but with a distinct twist. Instead of business decisions being made solely by owners or top executives, this ideology advocates for democratic decision-making processes involving all employees. By decentralizing power and ensuring that each individual has an equal say in economic matters, Cooperative Libertarianism aims to create a system that is fairer, more equitable, and less prone to exploitation.

Central to the philosophy of Cooperative Libertarianism is a deep skepticism of the state and its coercive nature. Drawing inspiration from thinkers like Murray Rothbard, adherents of this ideology view the state as a criminal entity, relying on compulsion and the threat of force to extract revenue from its citizens. In their eyes, the state's actions often go beyond revenue collection and extend to excessive regulation and control over individual lives. Cooperative Libertarians argue that the observations of history and the global nature of states provide ample evidence to support this claim.

While acknowledging the flaws inherent in democracy, Cooperative Libertarianism asserts that it is still preferable to autocracy. Direct democracy, in particular, is seen as a viable alternative, as it allows for decisions about the state to be made through mutual consensus. By engaging citizens directly in the political process, Cooperative Libertarianism aims to ensure that the freedom and autonomy of individuals are respected and that power remains decentralized.

Cooperative Libertarianism aligns itself with various political orientations, including anarchism, direct democracy, cultural progressivism, and feminism. These alignments reflect its commitment to dismantling hierarchical structures, promoting social justice, and advancing equal rights and opportunities for all members of society. By combining these principles, Cooperative Libertarianism seeks to create a society that values both individual freedom and collective well-being, while actively opposing any form of authoritarianism.
