On the relation of the Alliance of the Libertarian
Left to the Movement of the Libertarian Left
The Movement of the Libertarian Left is, or was,
a radical libertarian movement founded by the late
Samuel E. Konkin III, exploring his favored approach
of agorism, but traditionally welcoming and attracting
collaboration from non-agorists as well. Inasmuch as
the apparent executor of Konkin’s estate, who has
since abandoned left-libertarianism as we understand it, now
claims legal ownership over the term “Movement of the
Libertarian Left,” a need has been felt for new
institutions, unaffiliated with the MLL, to carry forward what we
see as the MLL’s authentic legacy. In brief, we consider
ourselves the
legitimate heirs of the MLL, but refrain (under protest) from using the
label because of the threat of legal thuggery.
The Alliance of the Libertarian Left (ALL) begins as
an acknowledgment of the more-than-agorist coalition
that has grown out of the original MLL listserv (now
succeeded by LeftLibertarian2), and broadened further in the
Blogosphere
of the Libertarian Left. Accordingly, ALL seeks to
maintain
the broad collaborative aspect of the original
movement, with no
emphasis given to one strand of left-libertarianism
over another;
we welcome ALL who believe in the desirability of a
society
in which all political and economic arrangements are
of a strictly
voluntary character.
It should be added that we disclaim any ownership
of the term “Alliance of the Libertarian Left,” and no
permission is required to start up an ALL chapter or
cell.
