What distinguishes my model of libertarian social democracy from conventional social democracy is that it is neither capitalist nor socialist but geo-distributist. It uses land value tax to fund a citizen's dividend (or basic income) that makes all ppl owners of land/resources.
Distributism, contra socialism and capitalism, wants widespread ownership of productive property, such that all people own some—not the abolition of private ownership but the universalization of it.
The idea of a citizen's dividend funded by land value tax (tantamount to giving all citizens a share of ownership of all land and natural resources) is the ultimate distributist policy. I call this geo-distributism. Georgism and distributism need each other!
Geo-distributism (LVT+UBI) is also the ultimate neo-republican policy. (Cf. Philip Pettit) It expands liberty as non-domination by giving everyone access to sufficient income to survive on (it's basic income, not luxury communism). It ends domination by bosses, landlords, etc.
This is why I say LIBERTARIAN social democracy, because this geo-distributist aspect that is missing from conventional social democracy greatly increases republican liberty (i.e. liberty as non-domination).
As a neo-republican in the tradition of Thomas Paine, I advocate social democracy with its republican form of government, single-payer healthcare, & focus on social welfare. Geo-distributism, republicanism, & single-payer are indispensable aspects of libertarian social democracy.
