Libertarianism is many things. Ayn Rand was a fucking moron and all extremes are idiotic. I, firmly on the left side of the political spectrum, identify as a 'Classic Libertarian.' It is sometimes called Libertarian Socialism.
Why? I am not a coward and accept that liberty has risks. Those risks are worth it as authoritarianism strips away self determination.
Libertarianism is a very broad spectrum and is the opposite of authoritarianism. Taken to extremes, it is anarchy. Extremes are idiotic. Protect the commons and maximize liberties according to individual society needs.

Anarchy would be beautiful, if humans weren't scumbags.
