Left Libertarianism

For the 85th time, Left-Libertarianism is a dual claim:

  • Leftists have identified real, important problems that are largely unaddressed by the current/old systems, and mostly around fairness towards the weak, marginalized, and poor
  • Government intervention is never the solution, and usually the cause of the problem.
Indeed, as Foseti has been known to say (paraphrasing) --
If you're dead, doesn't matter if it was government misbehavior or a criminal that killed you, you're still dead.
So too is it true:
If you're lynched for your skin color/sexual preference, it doesn't matter if it was government law (the way it was) or private individuals that did the discriminating.
