    That definition of left and right hasn't been used in America for centuries, it's from Europe in the Renessance period.

    There are four modern uses of the left/right dichotomy. One is that left=socialism and right=capitalism. A more general one is that left=government and right=freedom. Another is left=collectivism and right=individualism. Finally, there is left=liberal and right=conservative. So in many ways it's actually the opposite of the one you're talking about. For three of two of these you are on the hard left, and another one is inapplicable to your ideology.

    Left-libertarianism refers to libertarian socialism and anarcho communism which I consider oxymorons. Socialism and communism are infringements on individual freedom and are collectivist, therefore incompatible with libertarianism.
