anarcho socialism 

A redundant phrase. The anarchist movement has always had socialist tendencies, beginning with Proudhon ("Property is theft") to the modern era. Even the most "capitalistic" - the individualist anarchists of 19th century America - rejected capitalism as a system of state-granted privileges to wealthy land-owners.

The "anarcho"-capitalists of Murray Rothbard and the like stem more directly from the classical liberal tradition than any movement that represents the anarchist tradition. While Rothbard did take influence from the Boston Individualist Anarchists, he had essentially flipped the entire doctrine on its head, transforming it into apologetics for the status quo economy.

"an"cap: hey, anarcho socialist! let's smash the state together! anarcho socialism and anarcho capitalism can coexist! anarchism with adjectives!

anarchist: your ideology is an oxymoron.

communism and socialism 

i guess "fuck you rich college faggots Kill hippies!!!" is some paranoid middle class person (no, i will not resort to pointless swearing) who contradicts themself at every possible opportunity. firstly, you cannot properly define socialism because it can take so many other forms. secondly, communism has never been achieved. humans are not set up to create a communist government because we are selfish, among other things. i could go on, as the crap that you wrote is wrong but i won't go into details or i would end up writing a novel.

the guy im talking about says "fuck you rich college faggots" yet he is probaly republican/right-wing and probably supports bush who only got through college because he is rich. communism and socialism.

communism and socialism 

Two quite different processes with the core idea that the government should help organize society to make day to day life easier on common people and to create a more equal society. Socialism says capitalism is a necessary evil so any governmental influence must be built around somewhat free capitalism. Communism says that capitalism is an unnecessary evil that corrupts society, so it totally replaces capitalism with a working class utopia of sharing and caring that invariably turns into a totalitarian regime that terrorizes its citizens into working whenever things go wrong.

Currently, most of the really smart communists are staying quiet and moving to the field of robotics in the hope that once society is sufficiently automated they can implement universal basic income and declare pyrrhic victory.

Communism and socialism are never used in just one sentence - people always have to go on and on about them.

National Socialism 

National Socialism (Nazism) is a political belief created by Friedrich Naumann. It aims to unite Socialist ideas with nationalism (specifically German nationalism). National Socialism is a centrist idea which leans slightly right due to it's ultra-nationalist elements.

There are elements of Socialism within Nazism but in many cases welfare money was only given to those of native descent. The belief of the people being a master race is also a right wing idea and in the case of Nazi Germany the Aryan race is the master race. Nationalism is strong in Nazi regimes. The love of one's country and the belief that it should be strong is also a typically right wing idea (Note that Patriots and Nationalist are very different people and should NOT be confused).

National Socialism does not believe in class division. They despise the idea of Poor vs Rich (Communism) and Rich vs Poor (Capitalism). Many National Socialists believe that all class division should be abandoned and all people should unite behind the master race to make the Country better.

"National Socialism is Socialist". "No it's actually Nationalist with a few socialist ideas"
"Republicans are National Socialists" "No republicans are Patriotic, National Socialists are Nationalist"

libertarian socialism

An oxymoron-

Libertarian - values personal freedom, private property, and minimal inference of the state. Citizens are independent and self reliant.

Socialism - No private property, property is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.. Maximize the size of government and government intervention in the lives of its citizens. Citizens are dependant upon the State.

You can not be dependant and still be free.
Government is the only organization specifically granted the power to use force to achieve its goals.

National Socialism 

National Socialism is more properly called ethnocentric fascism.

Otherwise known as Nazism: The concept of Nationalism taken to its extreme in an era when Communism and Socialism were gaining broad support among the poor. In the nation of Germany, National Socialists blamed the tiny minority of non-natives for all crises, depressions and military losses. They used the "Socialist" moniker to draw in popular support.

National Socialism, by that name, no longer exists.

The National Socialist German Workers party promoted itself using "The Big Lie": a blatant lie about its opponents, told often enough, assumed to be true. The Big Lie (the ideology itself) was promoted by the party's propaganda wing. By assuming control of the church, scouting organizations, schools and universities, the Nazi party was able to gain broad support. No one wanted to be unpatriotic after WWI, and thus criticism was easily stifled.

Protests were astroturfed to build hatred against Jews, Socialists, Communists, gays, and intellectuals. The Center Party liked the Nazis' anti-Communist, free market beliefs and allowed its rise to power in what was probably the worst political underestimation in history. The Nazis then banned the Center Party.

National Socialism is neither: It seeks to divide people up to more easily conquer them according to their hatreds. It also goes directly against the ideology of Socialism because it teaches people to identify with their race, not their social class.

National Socialism was an ideology of the 1930s and would no longer gain support by that name because nationalism and Socialism are not popular anymore.

In a country like the United States, for example, a future takeover by ethnocentric fascists with brutal ends would, once again, assume a false identity - probably something like "Pro-American Christian Party" - then proceed to wrap itself in the American flag (or a similar, less well known patriotic symbol, like the Gadsden flag), go to church to get schooled on religion (and to disguise any anti-Christian motivations, such as Ayn Rand's Objectivism), pretend not to be racist, then promote itself as the only hope for the future.

Oh, wait ... that already happened. Shit!
