Left Libertarianism

Left-libertarianism agrees with right-libertariansim that strong property rights and economic freedoms are esential to individual liberty. However, left-libertarians seek to create mechanism that will empower all individuals with their own property or income. This is usually accomplished through either direct redistribution or a recognition of certain forms of property as held in common ("Predistribution"). The forms of property held in common depend on the particular left-libertarian theory, but the form of property included in the largest number of left-libertarian theories as held in common is land. Property held in common refers to equal rights of access, and is distinquised from collective rights, where everyone must agree on uses. Use of property held in common can be tansfered by the community to individual entities, but the community must be compensated. Direct redistribution theories rely on recognition of the marginal utility of money.

Resourses for left-libertarianism on the web include Progress.org, The Free Liberal, Mutualist.org, and Left-libertarianism: A Primer. Classic left-libertarian theorists include Thomas Paine, John Stuart Mill, and Henry George. Modern left-libertarian theorists include Hillel Steiner, Peter Vallentyne, Philippe Van Parijs and arguably Amartya Sen. The most successful politician who was relatively left-libertarian was probably Thomas Jefferson, although obviously many of his social veiws would be considered worse than fascist by today's left-libertarians.

Comments:

Common rights of access to land follows from that we all should own that which we produce, so since nobody produces land (in the economic sense) nobody should permanently "own" it, and those who do claim exclusive ownership owe compensation to those thereby dispossessed.

Defining who owes whom, and how much, and avoiding the Widow Jones horror stories or pensioners being thrown off their land are the tricky bits of Georgism, but on the philosophical level Georgism goes really really well with libertarianism, I think geo-libertarianism is the missing syncretic piece that (mostly? sufficiently?) fixes the inter-generational inequities of right-libertarianism, brilliantly taxes the one thing that should be taxed most (ground rents), and of all the forms of libertarianism just seems the most workable.

(I'm foremost a pragmatist, and think any real unregulated libertarian utopia would quickly degenerate into Enronville where we'd soon be paying for breathing air etc). But I certainly want to see as much of the libertarian agenda implemented as is practicable, this is why I consider myself a lefty-libertarian).

Your opinions are so convoluded they simply contradict themselves. You'd be better off copying/pasting from educated and well-informed writers on this subject. Get a life & quit leeching from society.
