Modern philosophy of government closley resembling Classic Liberalism, a philosophy of government which stresses liberties (economic and civil).
Libertarianism is a term for a philosophy that promotes liberty, i.e. freedom, which includes the civil freedoms to be prejudice, greedy, hateful, ect., and the economic freedom to be rich, buy anything, sell anything, have total rights over all private property. Thus Libertarianism CANNOT, BY DEFINITION, be socialism.
Libertarianism is the absolute most ethical form of government, specifically because it allows individuals to believe and practice what ever they want, such as live in exclusive socialist communities. Capitolism is not an economic system; it is the lack thereof, thus allowing any group of people to do anything to which the included people consent. This is unlike socialism, which requires everyone to participate, even if it is against that individual's will.

One of the many white Christian males who belongs to the right-libertarian movement. Right-libertarianism is a front for fascism cloaked by slogan's like "liberty" and "freedom"--not to be confused with actual libertarianism which advocates for dismantling the innately corrupt/destructive capitalist system and eventually the state itself. The grandfather of right-libertarianism Ludwig Von Mises served as an economic advisor to an Austrian fascist named Engelbert Dollfuss who shut down parliament and suppressed the socialist movement. Mises is on record praising fascism. "It cannot be denied that Fascism and similar movements aiming at the establishment of dictatorships are full of the best intentions and that their intervention has, for the moment, saved European civilization." The movement was further expanded by Murray Rothbard, who was a student of Mises. Rothbard believed in "voluntary" separation of the races, and spoke kindly of former KKK leader David Duke when he ran for senate in 1992. The modern right-libertarian movement is carried on the shoulders of Ron Paul, who published blatantly racist newsletters in the late 80s and early 90s. David Duke was also praised in the newsletters. Ron Paul has publicly defended Texas anti-sodomy laws, spoken against the Civil Rights Act, voted against MLK holiday, and against giving Rosa Parks the congressional gold Medal of Honor, despite supporting giving every Cold War veteran a medal.

Libertarians contrast with the Republican and Democratic parties because the libertarian belief is that government should be minimized or eliminated in all areas, even those that they don't personally support, while other political parties tend to promote freedom in some issues but government control in others. While the Democratic party believes in freedom for matters of recreational drug use and the Republican party believes in the freedom to own guns, libertarians are typically against regulation for both issues.
Libertarians themselves do not all necessarily share equal standards for personal behavior (though some may be common), as their philosophy is based almost entirely on knowing when something isn't anybody else's business. For example, many do not think recreational drug use is a good idea, but do not want to enact laws making that choice for others.
