Left-Rothbardianism

Left-Rothbardianism, also called Left-Voluntarism, is an economically centre-right, anarchist and culturally ambiguous that is the child of Left-wing Market Anarchism and  Anarcho-Capitalism.

Left-Rothbardianism, different from original Rothbardianism, which believes in a Neo-Lockean homesteading principle, believes in the  Classical Lockean homesteading principle. The principle as a whole states that property can only be legitimately owned by 2 means, direct trade from the past owner or applying your labor to un-owned land. The difference between the Classical principle and the Neo-Lockean one is that the first one also accepts the Lockean proviso as legitimate, which states that the homesteading principle only applies as long as there is enough and of the same quality for everybody else, while the Neo-Lockean principle rejects this proviso.

Despite the Left- prefix of the name this ideology, which could make some people think this is a socialist ideology, it heavily advocates for the respect of private property as a natural right that derives from the right of self-ownership, but they don't see property as legitimate if its a derivative of coercion, which includes, if the property derives from state benefits.

They oppose the common consensus that government regulation helps to eliminate or mitigate oppression by big corporations, saying that furthermore the state is the source of the problem it says to solve. It also opposes the view of the Gilded Age as a Laissez-Faire period where the state didn't have interference and where the free market ran the world, saying that this time was marked by huge state privilege according to selected capital, such as subsidies, tax-breaks, or even direct monopolies on certain industries, although there indeed were certain big businesses at the time which didn't get privileges from the government.

It believes that these corporations which were benefited from the state with more or less largesse should be allowed to be seized by the workers of them or third parties to eliminate state benefits to companies.

History
This ideology, similar to Paleolibertarianism, which was a synthesis made by Rothbard with Paleoconservatives, is a synthesis of the works done by Rothbard along with Left-Market Libertarians and Anarchists, such as Ronald Radosh and Karl Hess. This alliance with these Left-Market Anarchists (Ronald Radosh having been a Marxist) was due since Rothbard had long embraced a reading of American history that emphasized the role of elite privilege in shaping legal and political institutions—one, this, of course was naturally agreeable to many on the left which and came increasingly in the 1960s to seek alliances on the left. This alliance with this left sector layed the path of modern Left Market Anarchism but eventually Rothbard broke with the left and ended up allying with the growing Paleoconservative movement.

Views
It is a synthesis of Rothbardian Anarcho-Capitalism and Left-Market Anarchism, that is, adopting Leftist rhetoric and applying certain classical principles (The Classical Lockean Homestead Principle, for example) more aligned with the modern Left while maintaining an Anarcho-Capitalist framework, that is, still advocating for a stateless society in which market forces and private property and enterprises run the institutions and means of production, advocating for the maximum possible entrepreneurship freedom possible. And, although this ideology does defend property rights to an extreme extent, it especially supports workers cooperatives.
