You misunderstood the example. I used them to describe a left/right dichotomy within the libertarian gradient. Not as paragons of libertarianism.

Fair enough! I guess I'm being too autistic since Rand explicitly denounced libertianism and Chomsky uses the term in a way that is not relevant to the modern American libertarian movement. My central conceit is that us libertarians do not fall under the left/right dichotomy, though its true that some of us are traditionalists and some are libertines.

Simple hubristic. Everyone below the middle line is my friend. Everyone above my enemy.
