      Yeah. Libertarian is not only a thing for the right. There are libertarians on the left too.

        Mostly on the left actually, libertarian only refers to ancaps in the US where it was co-opted from its original meaning for socialist with anti state leanings. Ancaps basically don’t exist outside the US except for rare and lone individuals so it’s still has its original meaning in the rest of the world.
