Alliance of the Libertarian Left

Recent Alliance Publications Markets Not Capitalism: Individualist Anarchism Against Bosses, Inequality, Corporate Power, and Structural Poverty, edited by Gary Chartier and Charles W. Johnson The Conscience of an Anarchist: Why It’s Time to Say Good-Bye to the State and Build a Free Society by Gary Chartier More books like these! On the relation of the Alliance of the Libertarian Left to the Movement of the Libertarian Left The Movement of the Libertarian Left is, or was, a radical libertarian movement founded by the late Samuel E. Konkin III, exploring his favored approach of agorism, but traditionally welcoming and attracting collaboration from non-agorists as well. Inasmuch as the apparent executor of Konkin’s estate, who has since abandoned left-libertarianism as we understand it, now claims legal ownership over the term “Movement of the Libertarian Left,” a need has been felt for new institutions, unaffiliated with the MLL, to carry forward what we see as the MLL’s authentic legacy. In brief, we consider ourselves the legitimate heirs of the MLL, but refrain (under protest) from using the label because of the threat of legal thuggery. The Alliance of the Libertarian Left (ALL) begins as an acknowledgment of the more-than-agorist coalition that has grown out of the original MLL listserv (now succeeded by LeftLibertarian2), and broadened further in the Blogosphere of the Libertarian Left. Accordingly, ALL seeks to maintain the broad collaborative aspect of the original movement, with no emphasis given to one strand of left-libertarianism over another; we welcome ALL who believe in the desirability of a society in which all political and economic arrangements are of a strictly voluntary character. It should be added that we disclaim any ownership of the term “Alliance of the Libertarian Left,” and no permission is required to start up an ALL chapter or cell.
