It sounds abso-fucking-lutely awful. Seriously. In a nutshell, it seeks to put the power of a country in the very hands of those who have historically hindered industrial/technological progress.

Throughout our development as a nation, it has almost always been the myopic views of unions that held back development. Men like F. W. Taylor and H. Gantt sought to create efficiences through improved motions, ergonomics, and performance based pay. The unions couldn't see the benefit, and ignorantly valued security over a system that would have invariably resulted in greater compensation for them, and huge progress for our country as a whole. In the words of Samuel Gompers (That fucking cock-sucking piece of shit AFL leader), the unions wanted "More, more, and then more". Can you imagine a country without a centralized government, where all the piece of shit unions are squawking for more? It would be disastrous.

In summation, Social Libertarianism is thinly veiled anarchy and communism. Chomsky can eat a dick.

Smoke a cigarette and lie some more -- These conversations kill.
