I may be mistaken here but I think you are confusing libertarian and liberal. Libertarianism is letting the free market do its thing unimpeded, which is quite a right wing idea, not left. Being liberal and allowing people to be who they are without judgement is more a left wing thing. |

The political compass is left-right, authoritarian-libertarian. Its more about how much state control you want as a whole rather than just control of the market. |

Bit of a mix I’ve only ever voted twice in my life. A bit socialist, globalist, tory, libertarian, federalist, depends on the issues. These current tories are not worth a vote though and labour has been hijaked by momentum antifa so they are fucked too

Farage and Reese Mogg are libertarians they don’t believe in government at all, but you can also be left wing libertarian / anarchist |

The classic understanding of liberalism is that its a political philosophy based on individual freedoms, equality before the law and a free market. Early liberal thought influenced the American revolution withnits notions of individual rights and equality.
Modern day liberal parties are not necessarily left wing - the Dutch liberal party being a good example. |

Somewhat left of Blair on politics but right of Corbyn. Keynesian/FDR on economics. You need big government and big ideas to run a sane democratic society. Extreme right or left libertarianism (they meet at the back of the bike shed) is just chaos in waiting. |

Yep. Left wing libertarianism is quite different to right wing libertarianism. Left wing authoritarianism is also quite different to right wing authoritarianism. |

Same for extreme left authoritarianism (Stalin) and extreme right wing authoritarianism (Saudi Arabia). Extreme anything is usually dangerous. |
