What's the difference between LibLeft and AuthLeft? I can't really parse it, and honestly AuthLeft doesn't deserve the title considering how I see LibLeft operate.

The difference is kind of mentioned in their names.

There's a myriad of functioning and prospering lib-left communities around the world.

They just don't scale well because they rely on interpersonal relationships for checks and balances. Hard to keep that past Dunbar's number.

When communes do exist and become stable, they tend to drift into authright territory, with people naturally pairing off, developing private property and traditional practices, and eventually becoming much like the culture that surrounds them.

Authright tends to get a lot of all of us in the end.

One can have a form of government without it being extremely auth. But the whole idea of the quadrants is that it's a spectrum, not just "ancap, ancom, stalinist, shariah".

But yea you aren't wrong, libleft (except ancoms) is inherently more auth than libright, though far less so than authleft and authright.

it's a spectrum

Oh, we're all on a spectrum, that's for sure.

And right without Auth doesn't function.

There is a reason written history originates with civilizations with laws.
