Social/cultural traditionalist minarchist here. The LP is just Marxism with dope, they see every person as a soulless economic actor with no over-riding moral governance, plus virtually every single Libertarian policy is at odds with human nature. I flirted with libertarianism in the past but then I grew up.

How peculiar. Minarchism is defined as a libertarian philosophy, but you tell yourself whatever you need to feel validated.

Your characterization of the LP is spot on. They think that liberty exists in a vacuum, separated from every other person without any danger of externalities affecting others.

They champion unfettered drug use, prostitution, no-holds-barred pornography and, if you dig deeply enough, "gay marriage," although they will try to cast it as "no marriage, civil partnerships for all."

I think that they are liberals who are afraid of the label.
