Personally, I'm fine with social libertarianism. Legalize drugs, stop legislating morality, and so forth. Economic libertarianism, however, can tend to be cruel, inhumane, and very very shortsighted.

Hence the distinction between Libertarianism and libertarianism.
Civil Libertarianism, also referred to as simply 'libertarianism' (L intentionally left lower case) or 'left-libertarianism' is primarily 'play nice dammit.'
Libertarianism, as in the platform of the Libertarian party, has been summed up with the phrase 'all the freedom money can buy.'
