I'm honestly not that interested in making further arguments in defense of libertarian socialism. You seem to be more interested in pedantic nit picking about highly speculative models for an ideal society. A lot of this is relying on the idea that society is structured in a similar way, that material conditions that lead to the formation of these things will exist in their current form and that people inherently have ill intentions. You think people will more or less be the same post revolution, or even decades down the line.

I'm not sure what ideology you personally hold, but I'd encourage you to ask the same questions and turn that critical lens inward. You won't like the answers. You may even find some of those base deficiencies indefensible. You have seemingly thought about libertarian socialism a fair bit, but you're clearly lacking in theory and the ability to think within the framework. Your criticism falls flat because of that. If you'd like all the theory and no filler without reading a bunch of books I'll link Anark's A Modern Anarchism series on YouTube. It's a synthesis of many libertarian schoolsof thought into an ideological framework that takes into account many developments over the decade. You're so convinced that you know what's right for the world, why not hear the other sides reasoning?

Fwiw I don't think you're a dick or anything, perhaps a little frustrating but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I've enjoyed this but I just don't have the energy for it anymore. I hope you have a good rest of your day and that you give those videos a listen, it's.good stuff. If you don't mind me asking, where are you coming from and do you have any suggestions for theory that would allow me to better understand where you're coming from? Books, videos, podcasts, whatever. I'm always looking to better understand other people's world view
