And what is a left libertarian? How do the two coalesce into a 'Libertarian Party' in other countries?

More libertarian left tendencies often want the means collectivised in the hands of localised workers, rather than the collective org being a national-scale bureaucracy.

I'm aware that the anarchist-adjacent left wants more cooperative, decentralized production than large scale, planned production, but as juxtaposed with right libertarians, who want private property and at most a nightwatchman state, the difference is still in how ownership is spread. I don't agree with any libertarians, but it's a pretty fair appraisal.
