Can you describe left libertarian?
Anarchism (look it up). Same as the original meaning of just “libertarian”, before the far-right in the US successfully took over the term for their version of laissez faire capitalism.
I mean okay why not but why not call a cat a cat? Especially when the term have been hijacked by USA fachos?
Wouldn’t that make people think we’re supporting fachos and not cats?

I meant: call yourselves anarchists.

There’s not much debate to what it means IMO, or if it is, there can be a healthy debate/explanation about it.

“Liberal” not so much.

Democratic socialism is also considered left libertarian as well.
