https://medium.com/libertarian-socialism-american-style if you want to know why I'm so focused on using libertarian socialism and libertarian socialist instead of agreeing to the popular opinion that #anarchists and libertarian socialist are the same thing and that it's pretty worthless to talk about libertarian #socialism when everyone thinks it's #anarchism... here's one person that has a wide influence in platform ensuring that anarchism means anarchism and #libsoc= Inter-nationalists

I don't know if this article totally hits the mark, but as a general guide for what most socialists (in the West, at least) mean when they call themselves such, it's not bad.

Hi #SocialCoop, I'm a PhD student in computer science (doing programming languages research) and some kind of libertarian socialist. I've been living in #Paris for almost a year, but I'm moving back to #Boston soon. I'm new to participating in cooperatives, but have some background in labor activism and organizing.

Episode of Rev Left Radio on Allende, Chile and the coup of 73: https://revolutionaryleftradio.libsyn.com/chile
Raises difficult questions about the nature of revolutions, especially when compared with Cuba.
And I knew it already, but US/Brazil involvement and the level of violence to 'extirpate the cancer of Marxism' is always very shocking.
Also young Allende was inspired by an Italian anarchist shoemaker, now that I did not know!
