I'm super late to this, but I don't think it's correct to call Chase Oliver a left libertarian. Right vs left in the context of libertarianism is capitalist property rights vs socialist or mutualist property rights. Oliver is clearly on the capitalist side. He's a bit culturally lefty as a former Democrat, gay man comfortable with Pride festivals, and an antiwar activist, but culturally lefty isn't exactly the same thing.

Just want to add, if Chase seems reasonable to you and you don't have another preferred candidate, please actually support him. The Ron Paul paleoconservative wing of the Libertarian Party is criticizing him pretty hard. If he doesn't end up with support and votes, it will be harder to get a nominee that appeals to the left in the future.
I like Chase. I think he's a great speaker, and he's good at making great little one liners. I like most of his policies. I'm not fully on board with the Gaza is a genocide or puberty blockers are reversible stances, but his intentions are good even with those issues.
Neither is obviously more efficient than the other overall, it depends on the structure and the incentives. People worry about private prisons for example. If you make it so the government sends people to prisons and you pay the prison a fixed rate per prisoner, of course you're gonna get skimping on services by the prisons. If you instead give the prisoner a voucher for a prison and make them pick where they go and prisons get money per voucher they get from prisoners, you're gonna get competition on quality so you'll get high quality prisons. Opposite outcomes with just a change to incentives.
In this case it's the definition of efficiency. Efficiency = (resources used up) compared to (resources taken in). How else would you even calculate it?
Literally nothing I said justifies that assumption.
Nothing I said suggested beating or anything physical at all.
No one mentioned hitting or physical discipline of any kind.
People listing people like Trump or Mitch McConnell might want to check their privilege. Actual mass murderers like Putin still walk free.
They should make batteries that swap out completely so you can load a fully charged one in in a few seconds and let your old one charge while you're off driving somewhere else. Or you just exchange the battery permanently like with some propane tanks.
I'd prefer that the people who did the beating not be allowed to be in office anymore. There's a lot of people on that list.
When Trump dumped a bunch of money on the economy in 2020, he did contribute to a bunch of inflation, yes.

That's kind of like saying Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney are left conservatives by the standards of the Republican Party especially after the takeover of Donald Trump in 2016. It's kind of a ridiculous definition.
