Libertarian Left
Agorism is one variant of a more broadly defined left libertarian movement. Samuel Edward Konkin III defined the libertarian left as:
“activist, organization, publication or tendency which opposes parliamentarianism (electoral politics), defends Counter-Economists, and prefers alliances with radical and revolutionary tendencies to those with conservative ones. Best-known examples: Movement of the Libertarian Left (MLL), New Libertarian magazine.”
…by which he meant the left/radical end of the free-market libertarian movement, as opposed to the right/conservative end of that same movement.
While agorists typically regard Konkin's definition as most correct, different people use the term to mean many different things, including:
- Agorism and other more generally left-leaning branches of the free-market libertarian movement (mutualism, geo-libertarianism, non-Agorist left-Rothbardians)
- people whose views are some blend of libertarianism and progressivism.
The first two of those bullet points overlap among anarchists. The last two overlap among non-anarchists.
