I still have no idea what a libertarian communist is. I know what
libertarianism is, it's the sort of thing that the Cato Institute promotes.
And then, as far as communism is concerned, that's what Che Guevara stood
for. And Lenin and Rosa Luxemburg. I never heard people like that describe
themselves as libertarians. Is this some new trend that I have to keep up
with? Come on, Rakesh, why don't you clue us in.
