These core tenets or the philosophy can be viewed like any other philosophy. (Principled) libertarians view coercion (initiating the use of fraud or physical force against another person or their property) as a morally reprehensible action. Libertarians wish to minimize all coercion in society, and this is where internal disagreements occur. Some think that zero coercion is tolerable, so fall under the umbrella of anarcho-capitalism. Others think that because zero is unobtainable, there out to be a certain concession in order to achieve minimization. By centralization and legitimizing one coercive institution (the state), a lower amount of total coercion can be attained. I think that we should minimize the size of the state as much as possible, and that given time the social support which the state provides will be irrelevant (nobody will need it). I also think the current social support structure (among other things) of the state is wildly destructive to the poor, and that many things could be done to improve that which don't involve higher taxation.
