"110622-1024_38362.1537772476.jpg") **"Why are you against the
system?"** is a [frequently asked
question](Introduction_to_Libertarian_Socialism#FAQ "wikilink") often
given to [libertarian socialists](Libertarian_Socialism "wikilink").

## The Answer

People become libertarian socialists for a variety of reasons, but in
general, we believe that the current system (the
[state](State_\(Polity\) "wikilink") +
[capitalism](capitalism "wikilink") + [bigotry](bigotry "wikilink"))
cannot go on forever or isn't the best way to manage the system. We
generally argue that these systems lead to an unnecessarily large amount
of [wars](War "wikilink"), [poverty](poverty "wikilink"),
[pollution](Ecocide "wikilink") and [unhappiness](Happiness "wikilink").
