I'm not really interested in getting into an argument about what amorphous groups believe since it's basically impossible to decide and we are both going to be basing it on our own personal experiences and definitions of who belongs in tha group (although if you think that "all" libertarians agree on literally anything, I can only imagine you haven't actually talked to very many). But the CATO institute is a particular organization with relatively consistent views. If you can point to it clearly and plainly espousing the views you are talking about, I will be surprised.

>cato is relatively consistent. The article you are currently commenting on is a demonstration of their inconsistent views and they were only a few days ago complaining about the exact opposite issue. Libertarianism has no consistency. It cannot be consistent by definition because libertarian pillars cannot be reconciled. Left libertarianism is a bit better, but even the individual pillars on their own are irreconcilable. Free market cannot be reconciled with itself. Individual freedom cannot be reconciled with itself.
