Gregory's Server@jsbarretto You should, perhaps, differentiate between economic libertarianism - which is what you're refuting - & social libertarianism. The latter argues that people should be allowed to do as they please, as long as what they're doing doesn't harm anyone else - if it harms themselves, that's their look-out! Thus all laws against personal use of recreational drugs should be repealed - even the hard ones, like heroin & cocaine. See J.S. Mill, "On Liberty" (1859).
@rmblaber1956 This is a random mastodon post I made while eating my breakfast while thinking back to a conversation I had more than a year ago, not a dissertation paper. "Libertarian" meaning "libertarian right" is pretty common parlance on the interwebs. Libertarian-left people tend to refer to themselves with other terms (anarcho-, democratic*, etc.) or otherwise specify the 'left' part.
