And what is a left libertarian? How do the two coalesce into a ‘Libertarian Party’ in other countries?

    The private ownership of production is what makes them right-wing.

    Left-libertarianism would be anarchism I guess but I’d never call and anarchist left-libertarian

      the whole libertarian/authoritarian axis doesn’t really describe things well because it’s a caricature. On the left Marxists and anarchists have similar end goals, the abolishing of class society, but a diversity of strategy as to how to get there. On the right, they are united in reaction and to the extent that any are “libertarian” it’s purely out of self interest.

        Yeah, “libertarian” in common parlance in America is just another word for “selfish asshole”. At least anarchists want everyone to be in it together. “Libertarians” just want it all for themselves and fuck everyone else. John Galt worshipping assholes the lot of them.
