    And I did!

    Some points:

    While it is true that libertarians are not necessarily anarchists, it's
not necessarily true that they are 'Right-Libertarians' either.  Libertarians
put the freedom of individuals to live their lives as they wish at the centre
of their concerns.  The conventional "Left/Right" dichotomy and
classification doesn't apply or work.

    Thus there are Left-libertarians -- both collectivist (like Chomsky and
Christie) and individualist -- see Samuel Edward Konkin III's Web site for
the Agorist Institute, 'New Isolationist' and New Libertarian' --

    There's a good 'alternative' Movement history there.


    There are the Voluntaryists -- Wendy McElroy, Carl Watner, George H.
Smith etc.

    There are other 'existential' libertarians -- Harry Browne etc.

    There are 'right-inclined' Anarcho-Capitalists -- Murray Rothbard, David
Friedman, Chris. R. Tame, David Ramsay Steele, etc.

    There are 'lifestyle' and 'economics' and 'rights-based' minimal-state
Libertarians -- often Libertarian Party and ISIL supporters -- see

    http://www.isil.org

    There are Democratic Agorists -- like me! -- who want a political and
economic system and a society which maximizes positive and negative liberties
-- 22K essay on request!.  Robert LeFevre, Karl Popper and Robert Paul
Wolff's ideas are relevant here.

    There are libertarian socialists.

    There are many libertarian liberals and social democrats.

    There are even some libertarian conservatives!


    Enjoy!
