"How do you figure. I would call myself a libertarian socialist." Then you, too, would be defining yourself as an oxymoron. Support for individual freedom and support for socialism are intellectually inconsistent and incompatible. Not that I expect you to understand why. I'd suggest some reading for you on the subject, but I suspect you would dismiss it out of hand like you do everything else that might challenge you to remove your ideological blinders.

I would call myself a libertarian socialist. It simply means a person who believes in individual freedom but has a social conscience. Perhaps you meant "social democrat."
