Basic question about being a "left libertarian"

[Geoist]

I'm sure some right-libertarians are fascists. Just not the Nazi kind.

Apples and oranges comparison. Most libertarian-communists don't believe in replacing the state with a dictatorship. In fact, that was one of the key issues of contention between the libertarians and the pro-state socialists/communists in 19th century Europe. Libertarian-communists want to separate themselves from the state and form their own democratic communities.

Fascists are just fascists. They believe in the state and they want control of the state.

I don't think communism lends itself to anything apart from dictatorship, or one party rule, or something similarly tyrannical. No serious attempts at communism have resulted otherwise.

You really need to read my posts and your own cites more carefully. From the CNN story:

Since cannabis remains illegal under federal law — and the federal government oversees all US banks and credit unions — banks are often skittish about granting bank accounts to these businesses.

That is exactly what I told you. The banks want the pot business but are running into legal issues, not their own bias. Sheesh.
