How exactly does one go about being an anarchist and a socialist at teh same time?I don't really associate with any one party or philosophy. But to get to something close, I generally call myself anarcho-socialist, with a generous helping of green thrown in.

Then it seems your socialism isn't a form of government but society. The government requires a fair amount of money and size to maintain a socialistic state. But what you seem to be advocating is more good will toward mandkind sorta thing. But the big problem with any localized groups is mass inequality via geographic location.Many people ask this question. They are unaware that socialism doesn't automatically equal big government. The basic assumption, especially in the states, is that the further left one gets, the more they favor a bigger and bigger government. But this isn't necessarily the case. There are many socialists who favor a small, or even no, government at all. In this form of socialism, everything is controlled by the people at the local level. I'm not exactly sure how common anarcho-socialism is, but I know there are some of us out there.

Just as a question how does your ideology tackle that problem without the overlaying power of a decent sized government?
I think that may be the case as well. Though people's ideologies change over time. Mine have changed quite drastically in the last 5 years.This is a good question, and one there doesn't seem to be an easy answer for. I suppose, for me, this view is more geared toward individual, self-sustainable communities, rather than focusing on the nation as a whole (this is partly where the green politics comes into play). I guess this kind of corresponds with social philosophies such as anarcho-primitivism and neotribalism. But your question made me think: maybe I'm more green than socialist.
I am Libertarian / classical liberal / Jeffersonian liberal (without the jungle fever slave action though) / minarchist / free market capitalist.
This is the best because our secret handshake is the coolest.
For those comfortable enough to discuss such a topic, what is your political affiliation? Why? Is your affiliation 'better' than the rest?
