ARV members and supporters may be interested in an organization that is trying to articulate a radical, direct action component of the libertarian movement that is both anti-corporate and anti-government: the Alliance of the Libertarian Left. Here’s a summary of the group’s purpose:

The Alliance of the Libertarian Left is a multi-tendency coalition of mutualists, agorists, voluntaryists, geolibertarians, left-Rothbardians, green libertarians, dialectical anarchists, radical minarchists, and others on the libertarian left, united by an opposition to statism and militarism, to cultural intolerance (including sexism, racism, and homophobia), and to the prevailing corporatist capitalism falsely called a free market; as well as by an emphasis on education, direct action, and building alternative institutions, rather than on electoral politics, as our chief strategy for achieving liberation.

The group is organized primarily on the internet, and you can meet many of its most active members on the LeftLibertarian2 list. There’s also a blog aggregator that syndicates much of their writing that may give you a better feel for this flavor of libertarianism.

In addition to the explosion of online activism, local chapters have started to form, including in central Virginia and southern Nevada. There is a clear anti-system message, and I see a key role as providing a space for radical leftists and libertarians to work together on the many issues they agree on. While this group may not appeal to all ARV supporters, it is an example of the diversity of movements that could form a coalition against empire both domestically and abroad. Remember: revolution is a form of direct action!
