Glenn Greenwald ain't no Libertarian, Part 1: Defending Social Security and Medicare

230. He's a left libertarian

not a right libertarian as typified by Ron Paul, who has been associated with the Libertarian party. Both left libertarians and right libertarians have similarities and differences. In general they are both anti-war, against government spying on it's citizens, against corporate fraud, e.g., the too big to fail banks, and other issues. They differ on social programs, healthcare, environmental regulation, corporate welfare, etc.

The first part of this thread seems like an attempt to confuse what is a left libertarian (Glenn Greenwald in this case) with being a Libertarian like Ron Paul, who by the way is one of the few to speak out our military industrial complex, and criminal banking system.

Like Michael Moore, there are many left libertarians who would identify Greenwald as one politically close to their own ideals.

A few left libertarian writers. They may refer to themselves simply as liberals, or socialists.

A few right libertarian writers, not necessarily who would call themselves "big L" Libertarians, as in Libertarian Party, but that judgement can be made from their writings:
