and, as i've stated repeatedly:
i completely reject the concept of property rights.
i completely reject the concept of property rights.
that makes it very hard for me to organize on the right, and is the reason why i call myself an anarcho-communist, rather than an anarcho-capitalist. but, it's the communist that's the more important component of this than the anarchist.
if your'e a kind of typical centre-left democrat, and you find me appalling, it's probably the communist part of the thing that's pissing you off more than the libertarian part. after all, anarcho-communism is a sort of a redundancy.
but, i don't vote or align on social issues, and i think that's a big part of the disconnect, because so many people do - they're looking to join a club, to meet friends, to be a part of a movement. i'm just sorting through pamphlets and trying to figure out which one i agree with, and then going home to work on my art. i don't want to join your club, or be your friend or join your movement. so, the social issues actually don't even matter much to me.
so, i might support targeted bombing in iran to eliminate the religious leadership and make way for a populist uprising of secularist forces, and i might vote for it in a referendum, which is something no right-libertarian would support, fwiw, but it would be about 163rd on the list of issues in a general voting decision, one way or the other, and i wouldn't think twice about voting for somebody that opposed it, or somebody that supported it, if their positions properly aligned with mine on things i care more about.

what i vote on is economic issues, and, whatever you think of my views on social issues (i'd argue they're extreme left, and that's why you're averse to them.), my economics views are decidedly communist, decidedly anti-market, decidedly anti-property, and outright hostile to the libertarian right.
they're the people i'm least likely to get along with on the issues i care most about.
so, as i've said repeatedly - i'm not a bourgeois liberal. i'm definitely not a conservative, of any type. and, i'm not a libertarian, either.
i am actually the anarcho-communist that i keep telling you i am.
