There is a lot of dispute between left libertarians.  For the most part I've seen Proudhon's possession vs ownership argument at the crux of most left libertarian's ideas about property.  If you read "What is Property?" you can see that property is the cause for most of the debate on the left side of libertarianism or anarchism.  Unfortunately Proudhon has a style of writing that really buns me the wrong way, sort of like Mill.

I should note that there are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_libertarian" rel="nofollow">left libertarians</a> and <a href="http://libertarianwiki.org/Left_libertarian" rel="nofollow">left libertarians.</a> I'm not sure why the two don't have different terms. The former really doesn't sound like libertarianism to me at all... perhaps it's the article or I'm just misunderstanding something.

I should note that there are left libertarians and left libertarians. I’m not sure why the two don’t have different terms. The former really doesn’t sound like libertarianism to me at all… perhaps it’s the article or I’m just misunderstanding something.

Interesting.  The left-libertarians (at least Roderick Long) seem pretty psyched about Mary Ruwart trying to get a libertarian nomination.
