Someone who claims to be a libertarian but believes that all manner of silly left-wing statist beliefs are an integral part of libertarianism.
Some bleeding-heart libertarian told me that "slut shaming" was the equivalent of going on a killing spree in a shopping mall and that I needed to "check my privilege."

Get the bleeding-heart libertarian mug.The act of giving a party exactly what they ask for, with the intent to demonstrate flaws. Taken from the idea that if Libertarians, who claim to want almost no governmental control, were made to live in Somalia, an actual near-lawless state, they would change their views.
Letting my son stay up as long as he wants is like Libertarians in Somalia: everything he claims to want, and it's killing him.
My son wouldn't drop his insistence at a later bedtime, so I adopted a Libertarians-in-Somalia approach. He always goes to bed on time now.

Get the Libertarians-in-Somalia mug.Social libertarianism is the belief in independence from government or state control that is advocated for by libertarians without the individualistic orientation associated with traditional libertarianism. Many social libertarians believe that small, non-hierarchical community councils are better than large-scale representative governance.
Afraid of the social stigmas associated with the term "anarchism," they referred to their beliefs as social libertarianism.

Get the Social Libertarianism mug.In the classical sense an individual who favors liberty either in the service of society against tyranny or because the state has no compelling interest in certain behaviors.
In the contemporary sense, A stupid high school white boy who lives off if his parents and has never had anything bad happen to him.

Get the libertarian mug.Neo-libertarians follow a political philosophy combining elements of libertarian and neoconservative thought that embraces incrementalism domestically, and a generally objectivist/interventionist foreign policy based on self-interest, national defense and the expansion of freedom.
Neolibertarians hold that the best form of national government is one that promotes liberty (free markets and civil liberties) and strong national defense policies, including the use of pre-emptive military engagements only if it is against a threat to freedoms and a danger to the nation. It also holds that the federal government should concern itself with these issues above all others, while leaving nearly every other issue to more local political entities: state/provincial and municipal governments, communities, and individuals. Neo-libertarians are sometimes described as "pro-capitalist conservatives" or "libertarians who support the War on Terror." Some celebrities that fit into this neo-libertarian category include talk radio personalities Larry Elder, Neal Boortz, and comedian Dennis P.J. O'Rourke.

Robby: Dude, these neo-libertarians sound like they got it right, but why isn't there anything about them on Wikipedia?
Ryan: Well, there used to be, but some ugly pacifist named Carol Moore deleted it because she doesn't believe in free speech, and thinks she's the queen of deciding what's a legit political philosophy.
Robby: Well, that totally sucks. These guys really have what the world needs.
Ryan: Well, they should start with a new name, one that roles of the tongue well.

2. One who rests in the belief that an "organic" and "natural", though multi-national, community is suppressed by any number of incomprehensibly abstract laws and economic strictures. Such a community generally is not a community by contract, but is yet comprised of voluntarists.

"Libertarian Communism is a society organised without the state and without private ownership. And there is no need to invent anything or conjure up some new organization for the purpose. The centres about which life in the future will be organised are already with us in the society of today: the free union and the free municipality." - Isaac Puente
