It starts going leftward if the business adopts leftward principles of co-operative ownership. For instance, if the business required new employees (or new customers) to buy into its governance & capital structure as a condition of doing business, I think that would read as “left.” But it’s still “voluntary” in the libertarian sense.

That would make it left just within that business scope then. Not the larger whole community

And the need to pay to join in makes it kind of capitalist.

My main problem grasping the concept of libertarian left is on associations/municipalism/etc to maintain/manage the means of production. But any form or organisation bound to have a leader, or at least key influencer in the decision making. Which then make it tend to the Auth spectrum rather than lib spectrum

Im still thinking the political spectrum should just have 3 section

Auth left, Auth right, and libertarian

At which libertarian is in the middle, not exactly left or right. It is gonna be on the right side for bigger scale, but gonna be on the left side on the smaller scale (family is a lefty structure/organization)

Why “on the right side for bigger scale?”

Because the left or right on the political compass is regarding economic

And for economic/trade I believe mostly will be in the form of voluntary exchange of goods and services rather than voluntary giving..
