Gandhian Libertarianism vs. Libertarian Socialism

As I am at university this semester in class with various communists types, I am learning a great deal of other ideologies, and it causes me to reflect upon my own developing school of economic thought.

In Libertarian Socialism, there is an expectation that there is a provider of the benefit, as in a family unit, wherein the young children wait for father or mother to return home with food, for example.

In Gandhian Libertarianism (my developing school of thought), the children become producers early on -- about 10 or 12 years old. The idea is that we produce in a cottage industry with no expectation of being a recipient of goods or services, only a giver.
