Okay; but why does the LP platform appear to be espoused by so many people who call themselves libertarians, large L or small?
Why not choose another word? And the fact that large L or small libertarians on FR seem to be in 100% agreement with the LP platform shows that libertarianism as a philosophy seems to be almost entirely obscured by the LP platform. So why not use another word for “libertarians” who do not agree with the Libertarian Party on a lot of stuff?
It’s too murky and I rarely if ever see libertarians on FR disavow the LP platform.
You’ll have to draw your own conclusions, on an individual basis.
