Libertarianism and the leftist agenda

This book is addressed to the Left and represents an attempt to introduce proponents of leftist ideas to libertarianism, as well as to outline paths for cooperation.

Preface

1. Introduction

How I see my reader and how I would like them to see me

1.1. The Leftist Idea

Here I am currently sketching out concepts that constantly appear in leftist discourse, from which I will have to assemble a kind of mosaic

Social justice

Inequality

Oppression

Global problems (climate, pollution, pandemics, etc.)

The leftist idea is very multifaceted; perhaps I will need to clarify which specific leftists I am trying to engage in conversation with, and which I am not

1.2. Libertarianism

Here I need to express the basic concepts important to libertarians in a way that is clear to the reader

Freedom

Property

Rights

Voluntary cooperation

1.3. Similarities and differences

This will probably mostly be about methods and self-restraints. What a leftist will not do, and what a libertarian will not do.

2. The state of affairs

Which problems of the current world concern the Left, and which concern libertarians. Nuances in the perception of the same problems.

3. Proposals

How we could act to solve the problems that concern us, at the very least by not interfering with each other. Where we will be unable to reach an agreement (if such a thing exists).
