Essay On The Concept Of Left Libertarianism

Somebody showed me this article on the concept of left libertarianism. Have to say per usual with the left its preoccupied with economic equality, which I’ve always to believe to a misnomer being as due to the human condition economic equality is never going to be achievable.

The part on land ownership is a moderately good point, but only because of the lack of congruence today between legal 'ownership' and a moral theory of ownership.

The rest especially the, "you don't have a right to social conditions" stuff seems to be either irrelevant or bullshit.

Yeah I was reading it and shaking my head "Yeah yeah, I can dig this" until I got to that part and just started laughing at how I almost (not really) got convinced that taxes and redistribution of wealth are alright.
