Green and Bleeding Heart Libertarians

[I<3Liberty]

^ Oh no! This definitely doesn't apply to the people on Ron Paul forums. Facebook and Twitter are a very different story. I'm not even exaggerating, I'd get like 16 requests a day from some people.

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

Like 95% of the people at my university's libertarian club and YAL chapter are economics-obsessed white guys. The other 5% are economics obsessed white girls. (The 5% used to be higher until I left because YAL interfered with another student org I was involved in.) While there's absolutely nothing wrong with being interested in economics (or white or male ), I feel like us green and/or bleeding heart libertarians are the minority.

While I'm interested in economics, I'm primarily interested in issues related to the environment, social justice, healthcare, and the alike. I call myself a green bleeding heart libertarian despite the connotations it has as a left progressive movement with the LP. Cathy Reisenwitz talks about this type of stuff a lot (she's one of my favorite libertarian bloggers and has her own YouTube Channel where she does The Libertarienne Show.)

Does anyone else associate with the green or BH Libertarians?

I wouldn't classify myself as one (I'd probably most closely identify with Natural Law libertarian...my interest is in liberty, and not really what people do with it, or the consequences there of), but I do enjoy Wendy McElroy and Roderick Long, and even Bryan Caplan from time to time. I also enjoy things by Sheldon Richmann and Kevin Carson. Mostly though, I prefer older works from the French line of thought, as well as Transcendalists and American individualist anarchism (Spooner, Tucker, etc.).
