I also question how libertarian some of the libertarians really are, many of them would support trade protectionism, as long as it is not 'pinko' variety, so I think there is hypocrisy there.
Not necessarily. Be aware that western countries have harder taxes and regulations in general. Free market is about equality when it comes to economy. I think it's perfectly fair to penalize products that are facing lighter regulations. It increases equality and makes everybody compete in the same conditions.

I'm interested in libertarian Marxism (left-wing anarchism, really) but I don't think that's they type you mean.

Not really. I never appreciated Marxism that much. I always have supported Social democracy. But this support comes from the fact that I always respected the sense of communal responsability. When I was a kid, I lived in a city with a important jew community. And I admired how well they worked as a community and managed to be the most prosperous social group in the city. Basically this defined my political position.
But truth is that the most I follow the left, the most I'm aware that it's not about "
let's make it work" but about "
I want more for me". Left have really big problems, for example, with jews communities, since they use to be rich and prosperous. And in my opinion this is bloody crazy, since it should be the opposite: if they're prosperous, it means that they are doing right. Shouldn't be left's goal to become prosperous as a community?.
Not to say that to justify this "
I want more for me" wrapped into flamboyant and sophisticated words, left needs to show its 'morality' sticking to an infuriating political correctness. And this is bloody psychology, not politics. And perhaps it's because the asperger, but I don't have patience for that BS.
