I don't think we can win at the word re-definition game. They'll twist it into something bad no matter what we do. What we want is fairly called anarchism.

Sincerely,
an actual libertarian
P.S. fuck capitalism

    I agree with the sentiment but some practicality is needed. I think most unpoliticized audiences would hear a pitch about "workers' self-management" but balk at "anarchism". However the word is very good when some bite is needed.

    I do think Proudhon messed up when he chose "anarchism" though, it already meant "chaos" long before that. And in the US "libertarian" was heinously stolen. In general words seem to have a very hard life in the US.
