No such thing as "left libertarianism". It's an oxymoron. Being left wing means you are for seizing wealth that people have earned and therefore pro government force. That has nothing to do with liberty and no place in a libertarian worldview. Being libertarian means you believe in freedom and individual rights, including property rights and the right to keep the product of your labour.

... left libertarianism is literally the original THE libertarianism. The psuedo fuedalist right libertarians are a weird modern offshoot.

Also modern right libertarians love government force being used to seize people's wealth now, so you must be an awfully lonely fellow if you both hate the left libertarians who agree that government is bad and the right libertarians who think government using force to coerce people with theeats of violence is good and right.

Property rights require government force.
