One problem is that anti-discrimination laws have come from the Federal Government. When women or racial minorities feel they're being opressed, they look for government intervention, and the Federal Government has been the body to pass laws that try to deal with these issues.
So Enzigie, what would the position of a left-libertarian be on workplace discrimination laws? Would the economic liberty of corporations to hire and fire at will be strengthened by a left-libertarian, even if that means that those besides straight white men lost out in the work place?
A more general solution towards changing society so that people no longer have prejudices against groups that are different than them is the ultimate goal, of course, but what would a left-libertarian do right now with workplace discrimination laws?
