    Libertarianism isnt exclusive to liberal thought, Left Libertarianism, Libertarian Marxism, Libertarian Socialism, Left-Wing Anarchists...

    That's all essentially liberal, minus the marxist stuff.... And I would say that it would be impossible to have a libertarian marxist. Libertarianism is about the rights of the individual, and categorizes that state as the number one aggressor against that, they don't have anything to do with class rights.

    Thats Right-Wing Libertarianism. Libertarian is the opposite of Authoritarian, for example a Luxemburgist is considered a Libertarian as opposed to a Maoist being Authoritarian.

    On that little political compass yes... But that doesn't strike at the core of the ideology.... If you don't believe me I can pull out any piece of libertarian literature ever composed and you'll see that the focus of libertarianism is protecting the rights of the individual (primarily against the state, which is why most charts have it opposite authoritarianism)....

    I'm not really concerned with right wing or left wing distinctions as they hold no bearing in an honest discussion of political ideology

    ???? ?????, I'm trying to add you to the scatter, but the graph doesn't seem to recognize the characters in your name. Do you have another name I could use instead?
