I mean Left libertarian as with ASpHole, i.e. social rather than economic. American Libertarians typically favour an extreme free market model - I'd rather see small scale cooperative ventures and an extension of free association and syndicates/umbrella groups of free operators creating economies of scale replacing the corporate led, people crushing model we have today. No need to squash individual freedom or innovation, while not riding roughshod over the environment, the workers, or a country's citizens for profit or competitive advantage, or in the name of dogma, as the IMF and the transnationals and their political puppets do today. In all social matters I prefer as little interference by the state as possible. A lot of other state functions regarding health, welfare etc could and should be handled on a collaborative level rather than being stripped away - in a syndicalist/cooperative model the pooling of resources should not be difficult to achieve and would be resented less than the existing taxation model I reckon. Thats the basics anyway. I've no illusions as to whether it is likely to happen but thats what I'd like to see happen.
