It's almost like the modern Rothba-, I mean "Libertarian" movement was created to sell corporate domination to people who aren't particularly happy with war and draconian drug laws, but don't quite realize both things are perpetuated/exacerbated by big business.
If libertarians cared even slightly about "freedom" they would fight for those with the least of it – the poor and disenfranchised. Instead they fight for the business owners' ability to continue to dominate and control the lives and labor of the poor.

I read libertarians as librarians which completely changed what you were saying.

IMHO there's a lot of types of libertarian, but the term's become very associated with people who seem to want to hand power to the already rich.

I think the core challenge of defining a libertarian model for a society is deciding what to do about giving people the liberty to take the liberty of others!

No, it isn't. Democratic equality has had to act as a moderating principle to unhibited market freedom in order to achieve justice.

I'm not a libertarian but some of 'em do do this on various issues you'd probably agree with 'em on.

And if Socialists cared even slightly about "freedom" they would acknowledge the fact that "governments" exploit, enslave and murder far more people than the "evil companies" they demonize. The idea that politicians are more trustworthy than business owners is naive and dangerous

This is a great propaganda point, but doesn't change the fact that Stalin & Mao were ruthless dictators. Neither society was "socialist" in the modern sense, but keep on repeating this stuff b/c it supports the status quo belief that 0.1% should keep 90% of our economy's value.
