I read the book “A Libertarian Walked into a Bear” and I found the range of Libertarian attitudes interesting — there was at least one Libertarian in the book who explicitly identified as communist.
In my personal opinion, the core defining trait that makes someone libertarian is adherence to the non aggression policy. If they are capable of that then they are libertarian in my book. Even if I disagree on other aspects of their ideology.
I don’t understand where you’re getting a debate from. It’s pretty easy to summarize as. Don’t shit in the Common well don’t pollute the common air. Don’t trespass on your neighbor’s property. Don’t touch your neighbor’s things. Never resort to violence unless for self-defense.
Friendly reminder that you can have a libertarian communist commune. Libertarianism is not a left-right political ideology.

But that’s the whole debate, isn’t it? What is and isn’t aggression?
