A political ideology of minimal government and maximum individual rights. Libertarians stress that the government is only in place to protect the individual's rights, and not to make choices for them.
However, Libertarianism has recently has been bastardized by teenage punks who want to seem cool.

Libertarian: Where do you stand politically?
Punk: Libertarian!
Libertarian: That's great! So are we still on for tonight?
Punk: Oh, I can't. I have to stop by the welfare office.

1. A title given to only the most brilliant. Flawless in thought, impeccable in credibility, simply without error.
2. An individual that assists in getting to the root cause of liberalism and their inevitable decline into communism.

An oxymoron. Just like so called "Centrists", Internationalists or "Humanists". And other political pseudo-intellectuals.
Libertarians actually closeted Communists; but try to make it look like they are in-between, they believe in almost the same social dogma as Marxism; only difference is Communism equals strong government. Libertarians may believe in tolerance of homosexuals, feminism and Muslims. All this is funny; because lots of them claim to be Agnostics - and do not realize Islam is totalitarian institution; plus ... Muslims, just like Christians hate/despise homosexuals in the first place.
(Also American Constitution was NOT Libertarian. It was an advocation of Tribalism & an Agrarian state. (anti-Western world.)
Libertarianism is form of subtle Marxism in disguise as small government. Someone here said they were a former Republican who became Libertarian after they fully understood the Constitution ... As a professional I really had to laugh because the only thing that Libertarianism ideology & American Constitution advocated was small to almost no government ... They (founding fathers) never said anything i.e. about homosexuality, feminism, or practicing Islam & etc. (You could say "well, back in the 1700s these times were different." By this logic; that would be assuming the founding fathers also advocated pedophilia or murder ... And I don't think they did.)

Libertarians do not realize it is human nature to have flaws or want to be above others. (It's just our minds.) If there was ever utopia things like jealousy, guilt, fear, embarrassment, pain, pleasure, anger, sadness, happiness & other natural emotions would no longer exist. (because everyone would be too comfortable & satisfied. Which is exact opposite of pure human nature/natural selection.)
(Some people- especially Ayn Rand, see Nietzsche as an influence to their philosophy. (especially Capitalism) Funny; because Nietzsche was NOT in anyway Libertarian. He was also NOT Nazi or Communist; as he believed in total abolition of the state. (He was very much against Democracy/Western civilization; and was for a Natural state/Agrarian, much like founding fathers of the USA.)
(Side note- Nietzsche would abhor Capitalism & see it as a form of life-denial & completely against his philosophy of self-mastery.)
(Nietzsche wasn't Nihilist. He was an Agnostic, or perspectivist. He could not use the word Agnostic because it wasn't defined yet in late 1800s & another philosopher came up with the term. ("Agnosticism") Nietzsche just called his"perspectivism". )
Libertarianism cant work; and will only lead to weakened structure (everyone is "equal" which will turn into disorder/chaos because of greedy humans) It is a laughable philosophy and will only backfire like communism)
It should also be noted that the founding fathers did not want Political parties whatsoever.

democrats just buncha starbucks liberals who have no idea about the real issues because they're rich and growing up in a safe american suburb. they're just as ignorant as republicans but attempting to cover it up. while libertarians are the one who actually gives a shit about constitutions and respect the rights that are given by it

The commonsense idea that individuals have the right to make their own decisions regarding their own lives as they please, as long as they simply repect the same rights of others; also known as voluntarism. This means that governments exist to protect people from force and violence, and settle disputes; nothing more. For the politically challenged, libertarian means that other people are not your property.
In politics, there is no such thing as left or right, or liberal or conservative; there is only libertarian vs. statist (totalitarian). In America, libertarianism is long overdue.

The only word you could possibly use when asked what your political affiliations are without making yourself look like a retard
I dont agree with Rand Paul but when someone asks me if I am a liberal I want to give them mouth to mouth only to throw up inside of their mouth. "libertarian's for life?"
