Since the creation of modern libertarianism in America back in 1971, Ron Paul has been the most high profile Libertarian/libertarian of the last 40 years. And Reason magazine is the major mouthpiece of libertarianism as disseminated by the Libertarian Party.
The Godfather of modern libertarianism is Murray Rothbard. He would disagree on your #2 and would call you more a neoconservative, not a true libertarian.
I see you as a neo-libertarian -— a factional thinker and hopelessly confused!
Nah. Rothbard is an anarcho-capitalist. He coined the phrase to describe himself. The Libertarian Party is most certainly an offshoot of these nuts. Ayn Rand is another devotee of this sort of anarchism.
I’m no more confused than Bill Buckley was (until he decided it was a good idea to ban tobacco). I would argue that what we call “libertarianism” is no more than a recovery of the 18th century idea of liberalism. Whether that be termed “minarchist” or some other nonsensical and hyper-modern label, the concept has been unchanged since before the American Revolution and most definitely before 1971.
