What are the key positions that define a Libertarian (in your mind)?
Seems reasonableHands off on economic and social issues. For economic issues, that would be less regulation, little safety net, and smaller government. Socially, it would be not interfering with personal choices that don't affect others. Pro gay marriage, pro choice, etc. the social aspect likely could be turned a few ways when it comes to defending individual liberties using government but the main point is to leave people to themselves

i nominate cubo as lord commander of the night's watch. fuck alliser thorne.
That's me. <shrug>
That may explain why I didn't "get you" in multiple threads. Was probably trying to label and it never worked
I'm an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, surrounded by a mystery.
Still don't get this guy
I'd do better as the shadowy figure of power behind your talents. You with me?
i'll be the bucky barnes to your hydra.
Like the difference between a map and a globe?
Though i think there is more complexity to social issues then that square gives off, it still breaks it down in a simple way. You are either for government inference on economic and social issues or not. A libertarian wouldn't be for interference in the sense they wouldn't prevent people from doing what they want. An authoritarian would.
Is a nationalist, minarchist and a small "l" libertarian. About as extreme right as it sensibly can get.

The giveaway is often that they are for free movement of capital, but not of labor (though like you point out, not even really freedom for capital in many cases).A right-wing libertarian is for a gov't (even if not called "gov't") determining who owns all property in society and the rules by which property changes hands and enforcing those claims and rules and denying regular people any input into that process as well as into governance generally. It's deeply authoritarian on the economy. They just redefine terms to obscure that fact.
