As I understand politics, what they (political leanings) wish to convey are ideals. And the ideal libertarian politics would be total anarchy as everyone did what they wanted. So understandably some freedoms have to be restricted in order to have a working state.
Politics is always compromises, like I earlier wrote, some restrictions of freedom are 'necessary' (i.e. the alternative seems worse) as is the case of taxes.
In social ownership, the volunteers are the first to 'gain control' (of the code-base, decision making, etc.) but ultimately 'the users' (those who run the software, spend their money, etc.) decide. I would think that gaining most users incentivizes the developers & volunteers.
2. >the incentive works
Indeed. Freedom to do as they (miner) wish. It is usually towards the enrichment of self :D
Why does the political spectrum have to be in quadrants inside a circle? I think of it more like a line, where on the left we have fully socially constructed & owned state (an utopia) and on the right the state controls the individuals (a dystopia) - our political leanings land somewhere on that line with varying ideals. I see no contradiction in left-leaning libertarian... Just gotta ease a bit on the ideals ;)
