I see the point, but but I find it a bit Machiavellian, calculating and dishonest.

I consider Libertarian socialism a misguided idea.

I will try to address it at some point.

Why dishonest. All politics involves coalition and compromise; and sometimes -- when you need to tip a structurally rigged system, opening up new possibilities -- you need to compromise even more.

Libertarianism has little overlap with socialism. But the existing state-centred, collectivist social compact could be steered to something more bottom up and communitarian...rooted in place-bound relationships. Social catholic distributism would be one form....MAximising the prevalence of independent, property holding, productive households.....But none of that has a chance in the horsetrading between Libs and Cons that passes as choice
