Libertarianism is a joke.

It's the 21st century version of laissez-faire. Instead of the government raping our asses, it's the corporations. I'd rather have some form of regulation in capitalism than none. Notice how the areas that resembles libertarianism politics the most are the areas that are leeching federal money and relies heavily on manufacturing jobs. Way to take care of your population.

Sort of, not really though. I am more extreme than most Liberals, I'm for the legalization of prostitution and all drugs, small government etc., and am against other traditionally liberal things like gun control and affirmative action. If I say I am very liberal people think I am a hippy and/or a Communist, which I am not. I've gotten many different results on political quizzes, Liberal, Libertarian, Socialist, it depends mostly on the quiz. But the best, most accurate political quiz in my opinion is the Political Compass (http://politicalcompass.org./analysis2), on which I am a Left Libertarian, approximately the Dalai Lama. The problem is political terms are so muddled, Liberal can mean Left, Libertarian can mean Right, extreme Liberalism can mean laissez faire, there are so many differing opinions on what the meaning of each of the terms mean. I just picture like the political compass does, Libertarianism is only about personal freedom, Left-Right scale is only about economics, and the parties all fall within that plane.
