You can't be much of a libertarian is you describe yourself as "left."
Libertarianism denounces the left/right theory entirely.  It focuses
entirely on the rights of the individual to decide for himself what is
right, so long as it doesn't threaten the freedom of anyone else.  This
is something I've never associated with left-wing liberals that want to
control my gun, my yard, my community, and allow my daughter to have an
abortion during school hours without my knowledge.

While I'm clarifying (in vague ascending order of extremism):

Left (liberalism):

    Socialism
        Example: Britain

    Communism (totalitarianism + left-wing politics)
        Example: former Russia

Right (conservatism):

    Fascism (totalitarianism + right-wing politics)
        Example: Nazi Germany

Neither:

    Libertarianism
        Example: Idaho  =)

That's about as much detail as I can go into without resorting to
humorous illustrations involving penguins and impressionist bovine
painters...

BTW, I'm _not_ a libertarian.  Financially, I'm conservative.
Socially, I'm apathetic.  =)

In a hurry, are we?  ;)
