Ever heard of the Free Territory or Anarchist Catalonia?
Anarchist Catalonia? I think you ought to brush up on what happened there as well.
Are you talking about the Stalinist betrrayal of Catalonia or the political terrorism that happened just prior to the Revolution?

Left-wing libertarianism isn't an actual thing; it's a contradictio in terminis.

It's probably not a coincidence that most people claiming it are total assholes.

How?

As libertarianism means the size of government has to be very small and it means government should not intervene in people lives , business , the economy , and foreign affairs

By that logic, right-libertarianism can't exist either.

Depends on what "right" means.

If by "right" you mean modern-day American conservatism, where the government regulates moral issues and thinks they should carpet bomb any and every vaguely bad person they aren't allied with, then no.

But if by "right" you mean capitalist, then yes, most certainly it can.

I consider it as neither "left" nor "right" in the modern-day American contexts, but, well, libertarian. And true libertarianism is free-market: you can NOT have liberty without property rights!
