Hoo! You have a point there Linguist. Some people think Anarcho-Socialist an impossible union of direct opposites. When I think Left, I think as far as possible freedom for everybody to do whatever they want to do, something like an aristocratic slave state without the slaves (robots anyone?). But by 'Freedom', the Right often means freedom to choose between a few choices of what is necessary to survive that are set for you. Rightist freedom is like a supermarket stuffed full of different brands except they're all beans. Leftist freedom is directing a cook or doing it yourself.
