I didn’t redact this thing from your link. But look at some of the other things these people, who believe that social security is socialism, also believe:
No drug laws. Open borders with no immigration controls. No taxes or IRS. No safety net for the poor or sick. Or the old.
That is the problem. Conservatives rightly want a limited government, but limited does not mean anarchy. It does not mean “no” government. And notice how the chief thing in the libertarian philosophy is don’t get between them and their property. Morally, we have names for people like this. We call them selfish, miserly, and self absorbed. It is also childish. This is why when they run a candidate, he or she typically pulls maybe 1% of the vote, and is why they have to glom onto the GOP.
There are parts of libertarianism that are appealing. Nobody likes taxes. But they are a necessary part of life in a civilized society. Reagan was a conservative. He was not a libertarian.
I hope that you are beginning to ask yourself how it is that you, presumably a conservative, have come to accept these libertarian ideas. Please look into it. And then I suspect you will be on these threads with me, getting called a socialist by other freepers, and then slowly but surely showing them how they, and the conservative movement, at least as far as economics, have been co-opted by a bunch of goobers.

Here is the leftists agenda hidden behind the Libertarian Party curtain.
Libertarian Party Platform:
Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through “political boundaries”.
Homosexuals; total freedom in the military, gay marriage, adoption, child custody and everything else.
Abortion; zero restrictions or impediments.
Pornography; no restraint, no restrictions.
Drugs; Meth, Heroin, Crack, and anything new that science can come up with, zero restrictions.
Advertising those drugs, prostitution, and pornography; zero restrictions.
Military Strength; minimal capabilities.
