How does this whole unity thing actually work?

How is libertarian unity actually feasible from a rightist pov? My understanding of lib-unity, and chiefly its flaws, is that rightists are fine with left-libertarians having societies/institutions under collective ownership parallel to rightists' ones with private property/privately owned institutions.
The only thing rightists would be requiring of leftists being that they'd respect people's private property and with this being something leftists can't abide by, since the idea behind leftism is that all property is theft and therefore must be forcefully reallocated.

TLDR; it's my understanding that rightists can respect leftists' wishes to not be harmed but that leftists can't reciprocate that respect.

How do you set up an anarchic society?

How do you find people to start an anarchic society? I don't know many libertarians here. How does someone find a group within Canada who would set up something somewhere in Canada, preferably in the English-speaking eastern part of Canada like the Atlantic provinces? I'd prefer somewhere in Atlantic Canada so I wouldn't have to go as far, since I live in Nova Scotia.

What are your udeas for questions, axes and icon for libertarian (unity) political test?

What are your ideas for questions, axes and icon for libertarian (unity) political test?

I noticed that there is a test for Leftist libertarians, Rightist libertarianism and even auth unity one, but no libunity. So I will create one and if you have ideas for questions or axes, say them and I may add them to our test.

Law, Justice and Punishment

(nsfw for mentions about rape and sexual abuse)

So I've decided to make this post because I've encountered a theme that I disagree on with a lot of libertarians I encounter, and I wanted to know the actual take on this from other libertarians and libertarian-leaning people, and how it differs across the economic spectrum. So please let me know your opinion on this.

In my country (Czechia), there's currently a big theme on rape and sexual abuse, the injustice that happens on a societal, police, but also law and justice level, because it's very common that someone gets an 8-year or longer sentence for holding or dealing marijuana, while someone else gets just 3 years for repeatedly raping their step-daughter, and sometimes they don't go to jail at all (even though they might have even confessed and there's simply no doubt they've done it).

The libertarians in my surroundings have a clear stance on how to address this - decriminalize weed or even other drugs, which I completely agree with, and systematic changes in the process of reporting and investigation, but they disagree on any attempts to increase the length of the sentence for such a crime.

Personally, I am a reformist libertarian-centrist. I am very anti-authoritarian and I am for decriminalization and legalization of a lot of things, but what I believe is that if we keep the function of the state to provide justice, which in my opinion should have the goal of protecting us as much as possible from crime, this should be as strict as required for it to work maximally effectively.

Justice, in my opinion, should therefore serve one primary role: prevention of crime happening. Therefore, it needs to be both punitive (to demotivate people from committing crime) and rehabilitative at once (to prevent the criminal from doing the said crime again) but also needs to provide a feeling of security for people, especially the victims, by isolating the person from society before they rehabilitate. In my opinion, for some severe crimes, where we just don’t want such a person to live among us, it should be required to rehabilitate as much as possible before being freed back to society again. And even if that requires involuntary sterilization, which I know may sound quite extremist. I also believe that in those cases, people should be required to pay for their stay in prison and be forced to work if they don’t have the means. Which, I know, totally sounds like the working camps of Nazis or Bolsheviks, but I'm just convinced this is only fair to other people and to the victims. Of course, there needs to be almost absolute certainty required for sentencing such severe crimes, so there would still be tons of guilty people running around free (especially in cases of rape), only because there wasn’t enough evidence to sentence them, and I'm okay to pay this price for the security of not being falsely accused and sentenced. But if someone is already found guilty, the message should be clear: "We don’t want people like this living among us, so either change or stay locked up."

So what are your takes on this theme? Are you against stricter sentences and what are your thoughts on criminal justice in general? Please let me know.

P.S. I know there are quite a few counter-arguments against strict sentences, but I'll let this be discussed in the comments because I don’t want to be that type of political Redditor who writes whole books in the posts :DDD

Let's make libertarian unity subreddit for posting disgusting/stupid opinions and memes of authoritarians: fascists, tankies, authoritarian liberals/capitalists, racists and ultra conservatives.

Do you have any suggestions for a name for the subreddit? Or for structure of subreddit?
