I like it! I've considered myself as being many things, but
Libertarian has never been one. Back in the late 50's and 60's we
called Libertarians the "I'm For Me First" Party.

This is what Chomsky said in the interview and it's how I would identify my
own position. Yesterday, I think it was John Keriakou who I heard on the
Useful Idiots podcast, identified himself as a left wing libertarian. He
probably meant the same thing. He'd been a Democrat for his whole life
until
2012 when he was shafted by an interviewer on MSNBC.
Chomsky's quote below
Well, what does anarchism mean? And it's the whole long tradition actually
going back to classical liberalism. It fundamentally means opposition to
structures of authority and domination unless they can justify themselves.
Illegitimate structures of domination and hierarchy ranging from
paternalistic family to business which is a tyranny in which people rent
themselves as slaves, to international affairs. Anywhere across this domain
if you find illegitimate authority, it should be eliminated. rule by
unaccountable private tyrannies. I don't see anything libertarian about
that.
