His e-mailings are amusing and sometimes valuable but can be erroneous. I have no clue what's meant by "libertarian socialist" - almost sounds like a joke. Thoughts?

Bill White - National Enquirer of the political fringe. People who should know better take him too seriously. His editorialising is often quality work but his journalism lacks rigour. Whiteââ¬â¢s background digging on the neo-cons is superb though, probably because White and the JudenCons originate from the same political kibbutz.
ââ¬ËLibertarian Socialistââ¬â¢ is the class of language homicide committed when a traditional socialist realises their philospohy is inimical to human freedom.

Bill White's explanation of it dates back to the time when he was working for Pravada USA, and he was trying to give his positions some leftist plausibility and pedigree. He says the term dates back to the split in the first international (communist) between Bakunin, who used the term libertarian socialist apparently, and Marx.
Its a general concept used by others educated racialist groups too, "National Anarchy" etc. Like Bill White, I don't take it too seriously.
