:Neither Chomsky nor I use the unadorned term 'libertarian' to refer to the philosophy we share. We both use the fully-qualified term 'socialist libertarian' (or 'libertarian socialist').  And it doesn't matter how long you've been trying to colonize the term-you still can't do it and expect people to agree!  What about your sect's alleged respect for contracts?  A contract is an agreement.  You don't have an agreement on this issue!  In effect, you're trying to *steal* the term, and that runs exactly counter to everything you claim to believe in!  So why do you continue to do it?
