Yeah... I'm moderately active in some Libertarian groups, so do see a lot of left-libertarian and anarchist views, though I don't quite share them... I'm probably a bit more conservative/statist than a "pure" libertarian, again on the point of pragmatism. But I do believe we've become so statist, and I feel propping up corporations is an extension of the state, not limited because of it (executive/board liability especially).

I just feel there's plenty of room for closer to libertarian solutions without expanding govt, and in some cases actually reverting to prior state in terms of dealing with certain issues. The lack of accountability is probably the single biggest issue I've seen in the past few years. The lack of limits on patents and production around patent protection, extension and licensing is also very concerning.
