It seems most of the conflicts on the libertarian left are between these three contending sets of values.
- Enlightenment classical liberalism
2. The advancement of historically oppressed populations
3. Wider libertarian, anarchist, decentralist, anti-authoritarian, or anti-statist principles.
I would argue that #1 is the baseline, the irreducible minimum that cannot be compromised. #2 contains a set of generally laudable goals, the pursuit of which must be subordinated to the baseline and consistent with the end game, with #3 being the end game.
