Libertarianism and It's variations.

I'm a little confused on something can anyone help me understand the subsets of libertarianism? Paleolibertarianismand left-libertarianism in particular. Isn't the point of Libertarianism that it's socially liberal and fiscally conservative? It seems like paleo and left would cancel out the social and fiscal parts respectively and just make it regular old Liberalism and conservativism. This is something I’ve looked in to but can't seam to figure it out.

Some of those need to be tinyurl'd.

Do other ideologies have analogous articles? I've never seen that sort of thing before.

So, we've established that Libertarians don't agree on shit. I can't fathom why they haven't become a viable party yet.

We sorta agree that gun control and the war on drugs are evil, and that permits and licensing and red tape are evil, and that high taxes (especially high taxes on the middle classes) are very evil too.

We also tend to be free speech nuts and privacy nuts.
