It doesn't mean authoritarian, it doesn't mean bigger government with more power, it doesn't mean lessening the power of local government, it doesn't mean giving subsidies to anyone be it businesses or individual, it doesn't mean overturning democracy, it means getting the fuck out of the way, giving local government and individuals more power.... This is big government conservative authoritarian fascist bullshit.
There is nothing Libertarian about this motherfucker.
You have to understand that large proportion of self-styled libertarian in the US appear to be moronic enthusiasts prone to espousing ideologies without exhibiting the slightest hint of the ability to correlate, much less match, behavior to ideology. They would gladly be fishes in a barrel for anyone paying the most superficial and cynical lip service to their ideology while pursuing a dismetrically opposite agenda. So taken together as self-style political body, the libertarians conjures up a much different image then is reflected in your description. For those who oppose conservative authoritarianism and its tendency to protect settled wealth and previlige at the expense of equitable social mobility, libertarians as a body in the US could be expected to offer far more opposition then assistance.
