It is a great book.

Pretty sure David Gordon does not agree with Hoppe's argumentation ethics. But he doesn't commentate on it directly anywhere in writing, as far as I know.

Those 'substantive' positions do not affect

"Left-libertarianism" - in the Roderik Long meaning of the word - is just an 'in crowd' signaling mechanism. It means that you think that libertarianism is more likely to 'achieve' certain goals typically associated with the left, think that libertarianism has better answers to certain beefs 'the left' has, that leftwing
