Hang out with a bunch of libertarians and eventually they'll start arguing about who's more libertarian.
There are various types (or degrees or flavors or something) of libertarianism. Minarchy [0] is one type, but doesn't seem to be the most vocal from what I've seen. There's even libertarian socialism [1]. The most vocal type seems to be anarcho capitalism [2] which is pretty much the no government whatsover group.

- WalterBright 5y agoLibertarianism is a difficult philosophy for most people to accept, as it relies on order arising from chaos. (Even though all life on Earth is order arising from chaos.) Most people feel more comfortable with a law that forces their desired outcome.
