From Wikipedia:
Libertarian schools of thought differ over the degree to which the state should be reduced. Anarchists advocate complete elimination of the state.
Minarchists advocate a state which is limited to protecting its citizens from aggression, theft, breach of contract, and fraud.
Some libertarians go further, such as by supporting minimal public assistance for the poor.[4] Additionally, some schools are supportive of private property rights in the ownership of unappropriated land and natural resources while others reject such private ownership and often support common ownership instead.[5][6][7]
Another distinction can be made among libertarians who support private ownership and those that support common ownership of the means of production; the former generally supporting a capitalist economy, the latter a libertarian socialist economic system. In some parts of the world, the term "libertarianism" is synonymous with Left anarchism.[8]
In other words, it ain’t Conservatism.
There are foolish posters who believe Ron Paul is conservative. He is not. He’s been a libertarian for years, only switching to Republican when he thought he could fool people with a different label. Leopards do not change their spots, just the letters behind their names.
