If you don’t mind (and to further flaunt my ignorance,) what’s the difference between a “libertarian” and a “Libertarian”?
Small-l libertarianism is more of a moral philosophy regarding the use of coercive force, rather than a specific party.
Here is the portion of the libertarian party’s agenda that they don’t like to share with conservatives, liberal libertarians stress these aspects while the other wing of their party stresses economics to conservatives.
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.
Little l refers to the basic principles of libertarianism... the big L refers to the Libertarian Party. They, oddly enough, don’t seem to adhere to libertarian principles.
