You can't be a libertarian and a socialist at the same time. Libertarianism is against coercion whereas socialism (excepting voluntary socialism - eg hippy communes) is a forced system of banning voluntary trade.



Doesn't seem to answer the paradox of who will enforce the socialism in a libertarian society. What if in this society you want to share my wealth but I don't?
