Reply #73: Left libertarian looks like liberal or progressive to me.

[liberaldemocrat7]

To me a left libertarian keeps the social justice agenda that most right wing libertarians oppose. Right wing libertarians want the freedom to exploit those who work for them, the freedom to make products that might hurt people and cost too much.

13) If an individual doesn't own his or her own body, and shouldn't be the final arbiter of all decisions pertaining to his or her own body, who does, and who should? (What other individual, individuals, or institution?) Noone but the person themself owns their own body.
