Noam Chomsky on "libertarian socialism," really great discussion on what anarchism looks like, when instituted:
(For your consideration. I'm interested in positive aspects of Anarchism but Libertarianism turns me right off...I haven't watched this to do quality control prior to posting; will delete if it's inappropriate.)

This is Chomsky giving his ideas about the meaning of socialism, anarchism, libertarianism, freedom, etc. He explains in this video that this bears no relation to what is commonly called "Libertarian" in the United States, including Ron Paul and such. In fact, in Chomsky's view this is quite the opposite of that other so-called US Libertarianism, which really sells a kind of ultra capitalism. In this session Professor Chomsky presents a vision of a better form of social organization that he thinks could be possible some day.
This is a great Q & A and will be of interest for anybody interested this stuff.
