    So, kind of a soft government?

    I guess you could say that, in the sense that the government (if any. See below)would be much more of a helper and a support for regular people who aren’t rich and powerful than a ruler and an enforcer working for those that are.

    What about roads and utilities?

    Paid for and maintained by the people in general, specifics vary wildly across the hundreds of millions of left-libertarians worldwide. Personally, I believe that financing and administrating such thing is quintessential supportive government stuff. An anarchist would disagree with me, opposing all government or at least all except very local government.

    What really turns me off of libertarian is the belief that people have to pay for their own roads and fireman. The rich will only survive then, kind of like how our healthcare is right now.

    Yeah, right-libertarianism is basically “survival of the already most privileged” dressed up (with varying degrees of success) in misleading rhetoric about self-determination…

    if you’re saying that the government is ran more like a co-op, then I get it.

    Ideally, all organisations would be co-ops and the government would be an administrative non-profit co-op of sorts run by and for those of the people with the most aptitude and uncorrupt interest in doing such work.

    That’s just my personal take, though, there’s hundreds if not thousands of left-libertarian ideologies and I don’t agree with all of the specifics of any one of them…
