- an unsanitized piece of real thought and feeling that somehow escapes our careful packaging. It floats around the room annoyingly, while everyone exchanges puzzled glances at the incongruous thread of truth that arrived unannounced and uninvited.
Title: We're Back!
Subtitle: (... wherein boomers start questioning everything again ...)
Pith: Like the incontinent seniors they will ultimately become, many baby boomers seem less capable now of holding back occasional bubbles of truth, which are now known by the neologism "SocialFarts".
Explanation: Though relatively well-behaved during their earning years, it has become clear that people in the boomer generation have not finished ranting about the state of the world and questioning the status quo. Many openly challenged the powers-that-be when they were young, and many more were too timid at the time to join them, but nonetheless shared their views - on war, sex, love, religion, government, school, work, and of course, parenting. Never fully domesticated in spirit, some inner part of them strains for release against the bonds of retirement security.
Consequences: The consequence is nothing short of the birth of a new quantum of truth - the SocialFart - a brief and unexpected stench of clarity superimposed on society's usual backdrop of denial and hypocrisy. Coughed up like a sound byte, tacked in bright colors on an office partition, or embroidered on the body as a cryptic graphic, the SocialFart promises to release into our already strained atmosphere whatever these grey-hairs have been brewing silently for the past four or five decades.

The term can also be synonymous with anarchism or left libertarianism. The term chould be differentiated from right libertarianism with it's emphasis on laissez-faire capitalism as opposed to libertarian socialism's anti-capitalism and anti-statism ideals.

Get the libertarian socialism mug.As in the Marxist slogan: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"
But instead of economics, this slogan relates to pussy. Specifically, when a buddy who pulls a lot of poon shares his conquests with his less fortunate buddy -- that's pussy socialism.

Get the minarcho-socialism mug.libertarian-A person who advocates liberty, especially in regard to thought or conduct.
socialism-The belief that all property should be held by the state or in common. Since most libertarian socialists are anarchists they believe in property being held in common, meaning anyone can use what ever they want whenever they feel like it.
Basically, while libertarian capitalists believe all force and coercion is wrong unless used to defend one's person or property libertarian socialists believe all force and coercion is wrong unless used to defend one's person, but not one's property since all property was originally founded on theft and relies on state coercion. Without state coercion capitalists would have to create private organizations (basically, miniature states) to enforce property 'rights'. Libertarian capitalists ignore the fact that companies would monopolize land and exclude certain companies, eventually leading to vast tracts of private property that function like modern states do.
