*ponders*The hardcore Libertarians are much more liberal than an 'average' Democrat.
You don't care if there is a heroin carryout and a gay whorehouse setting up shop on either side of the local middle school.
As an actual complete package, pure Libertarianism as a way to govern has the same shortcoming as Communism in that it fails to account for the vagrancies of human nature.
Why didn't it?It is a complete joke in that regard. We tried libertarianism in the wild wild west. Didn't work.
I see you saying it... I just don't know why you are saying it. It's a bunch of statements with no substance. Are you a politician?That said, most people find things they like about libertarian philosophy they like a great deal, including myself.
I hate to always be the guy in here to bear the bad news for you guys, but oh, well.
The definition of "liberal" is at your discretion.
Both parties' platforms are available online.

definitions aren't discretionary. words have meaning.
If words have meaning... Then... No... A liberal is absolutely not a statist. I don't care if "democrats" consider themselves liberal or not. I don't care if "republicans" consider "democrats" liberals or not. They are NOT liberals. There is nothing wrong with liberals. There is something wrong with "democrats & republicans"The definition of "liberal" is at your discretion.

Indeed. The reason I said that is because "liberal" used to mean liberty and less government intervention. Today, a typical liberal is a statist.
I don't think people should make up their own definitions for words. Society will naturally evolve a language and things might take a different meaning through time... That's alright. But find me a dictionary where liberal = statist.So, I left it open to be decided based upon how you define the word.
The Libertarian Party is both more socially liberal than the Democrats, and more fiscally conservative than the Republicans, and both sides hate them for it.
If that's actually what they said then... yes... You would be correct it would be an oxymoron. But it's not what they said. Hell... You quoted what they said. o.0The Libertarian Party is both more socially liberal than the Democrats, and more fiscally conservative than the Republicans, and both sides hate them for it.

The phrase socialy liberal but conservatively conservative is an oxymoronn. Ir defines a person who loves social programs but will be damned if they will pay for them.

liberals--as I have come to understand from its use in Amercian parlance--is usually a leftist.
There is nothing "leftist" about libertarians. Yes, there is some agreement in the concept of freedom and civil liberties, the difference is that Libertarians seek less government intervention, liberals seek more.
