text: Functionally, demagoguery, but maybe accidental. Let me explain.
  
  Classic, or even ancient, liberals are not at all the same thing as Libertarians. There are contrasting differences between the two and they have differing clustered interests. It's not quite right to say Libertarians are "liberal plus" or something; they seem to pick à la carte from liberalism, but liberalism is closer to a system of morality than not, and you can't really pick it up incompletely any more than you can pick up Christianity incompletely. 
  
  Libertarians get into trouble. For example, some advocate laissez-faire capitalism, but this naturally leads to violations of liberalism's principle of equality because it omits that capitalism tends to exploit and despoil. And so Libertarians can habor some moral and sociopathic subversion or turpitude, ideologically. It's best to avoid them for this exact reason. Stick with the authentic good: pure oldschool liberalism.
