libertarian leftists? That's an oxymoron.

Oh, here comes the "right is small government, left is big government" conservative!🤣

Nope it's purely an ideological conflict. If you're a libertarian then you don't support government, you believe the free market can work without regulation. Which leaves us with Anarcho-Capitalism. And at that point what amount of social justice or equality or anything are we achieving? It's going to be kind of hard to form a union when Shell Motor Corp troops execute anyone found with a vote card.

Oh sorry, you're the "authoritarianism is when self defense, ergo short tempered dictator with frivolous pet project is good" type of "leftist" (sic)!🤣

That doesn't make sense. Are you saying corporations should be allowed to have soldiers on staff?
