Since most socialists are pro-democracy in just about every way, I was attacking those socialists. He called a right-wing authoritarian a "fascist" when he (being in the green quadrant) is a "left-wing libertarian". The term "libertarian" is probably the worst political term there is because it emphasizes "liberty" above all else. The idea for people to do what they want to do is the goal of that movement. However, his leftist approach to it contradicts this because he believes that one should not be able to reap the benefits of his work. Libertarianism, when it isn't guided by a philosophy, has no meaning because either right or left wing libertarianism does not guarantee liberty in all areas. So I was beckoning him to explain his philosophical approach to libertarianism if he wanted to form a rebuttal because if he doesn't then one could just pick apart all the errors in general libertarianism.
