BoingBoing socialism

BoingBoing socialism does not sound too far afield from South Park Republicanism.

I�m strongly attracted to what might be called, for want of a better term, BoingBoing socialism. That is, I buy the argument that some of the key goals of the left can best be achieved through maximizing individuals� control over the conditions of their consumption (and, by extension, maximizing their ability to remix and re-produce cultural goods). But what�s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Empowering people to make cultural choices we might �like� is also going to empower them to make choices that we might dislike too

Isn't BoingBoing Socialism super-capitalist? Or am I missing something here?
