we should speak in a 21st century libertarian language.
There's not one agreed on left libertarian vocabulary. I'm not sure that libertarian is all that helpful of a term either, as for most people it means what we would call right-wing libertarians. Most words these days are messy and contested. Like seriously, I can't think of any political words right now that don't involve competing and often contradictory meanings (union, anarchist, communist, socialist, libertarian, there's more I'm sure). Most political words are the subject of conflict, for one thing, and for another, our milieus are really small and fragmented so there's not any single large social group that uses words that can serve as an anchor for us. The most dominant uses of political words are ones we probly reject anyway.
Nate, I guess I would srta divide this initially in two parts: Part A - Internal consumption. Part B - External.
In regards to Internal, more often then not --- tho not always --- we tend to get what and where someone is coming from. On these lists (and elsewhere) I use the term libertarian. With the internal understanding that it covers the libertarian left perspectives.
External, I would never use the term "party" to describe any form of libertarian organization, period. And, for that matter, I would never use it internally.
