An oxymoron. Just like so called "Centrists", Internationalists or "Humanists". And other political pseudo-intellectuals.
Libertarians actually closeted Communists; but try to make it look like they are in-between, they believe in almost the same social dogma as Marxism; only difference is Communism equals strong government. Libertarians may believe in tolerance of homosexuals, feminism and Muslims. All this is funny; because lots of them claim to be Agnostics - and do not realize Islam is totalitarian institution; plus ... Muslims, just like Christians hate/despise homosexuals in the first place.
(Also American Constitution was NOT Libertarian. It was an advocation of Tribalism & an Agrarian state. (anti-Western world.)
Libertarianism is form of subtle Marxism in disguise as small government. Someone here said they were a former Republican who became Libertarian after they fully understood the Constitution ... As a professional I really had to laugh because the only thing that Libertarianism ideology & American Constitution advocated was small to almost no government ... They (founding fathers) never said anything i.e. about homosexuality, feminism, or practicing Islam & etc. (You could say "well, back in the 1700s these times were different." By this logic; that would be assuming the founding fathers also advocated pedophilia or murder ... And I don't think they did.)
(Libertarians are Marxists because they believe in the state. That's why it's an oxymoron.)
Libertarians do not realize it is human nature to have flaws or want to be above others. (It's just our minds.) If there was ever utopia things like jealousy, guilt, fear, embarrassment, pain, pleasure, anger, sadness, happiness & other natural emotions would no longer exist. (because everyone would be too comfortable & satisfied. Which is exact opposite of pure human nature/natural selection.)
(Some people- especially Ayn Rand, see Nietzsche as an influence to their philosophy. (especially Capitalism) Funny; because Nietzsche was NOT in anyway Libertarian. He was also NOT Nazi or Communist; as he believed in total abolition of the state. (He was very much against Democracy/Western civilization; and was for a Natural state/Agrarian, much like founding fathers of the USA.)
(Side note- Nietzsche would abhor Capitalism & see it as a form of life-denial & completely against his philosophy of self-mastery.)
(Nietzsche wasn't Nihilist. He was an Agnostic, or perspectivist. He could not use the word Agnostic because it wasn't defined yet in late 1800s & another philosopher came up with the term. ("Agnosticism") Nietzsche just called his"perspectivism". )
Libertarianism cant work; and will only lead to weakened structure (everyone is "equal" which will turn into disorder/chaos because of greedy humans) It is a laughable philosophy and will only backfire like communism)
It should also be noted that the founding fathers did not want Political parties whatsoever.

"George Washington was libertarian."
"George Bush may be fiscally conservative, but socially he's no libertarian."
"If all Americans were libertarian, crime would fall, there would be peace, and people would no longer need to fear a government which- like the one from 2000- 20??- is oppressive of people's rights.

I wanted to enrich my already rich friends so I ran as a Republican but lost, so Iโm running again as a libertarian.

One of four, and only four, possible political philosophies. The Libertarian believes in both personal and economic freedom.
The liberal, or left-winger, believes in personal freedom.
The conservative, or right-winger, believes in economic freedom.
The interventionist, or tyrant, believes in neither.
Virtually all political figures, and most of the electorate, are currently interventionist. Things will continue to deteriorate as long as this condition exists.
In most cases, there is no significant difference in candidates. The partisan antics involved in recent elections are therefore absurd. They both are on the same side, so to speak.
His libertarian leanings have put him at odds with his statehouse colleagues.

Someone who is completely dependent on others while being fully convinced of their own independence. They were born on third base and think that means that they hit a triple. Most of them have read Ayn Rand fiction novels and think they are supposed to be living in one. Her fans were called "the society of selfishness".
Most Libertarians I know have trouble defining what they believe in.
