Losing respect for Rand Paul

Yeah, 100% Socialists, 0% Libertarian. The minute a Libertarian advocates for a good idea, they cease being Libertarian

That's not always true some social libertarian policies are good legalizing weed could be said to be libertarian or even legalization of Gay marriage .

As  for Socialism depends on the kind i think absolute authoritarian strains of socialism would be awful

And there is no necessary conflict  between the two.

So do you entirely disagree with things like the free market and personal liberties? That's why I like libertarianism - I basically want the government interfering with my life as little as possible. There are definitely times for government intervention (for example, creating the institutional arrangements to structure a proper free market), but governments are so corrupt and inefficient in general that I'd rather let corporations do many functions. Privatization typically has the effect of lowering costs when done right. It's why I  like markets.

Free market capitalism can be as inefficient and corrupt as government . And if government is inefficient and corrupt then it needs to be fixed not thrown away and handed over to a system that can easily be just as flawed but render even more powerless against and has moral interest in your wellbeing.
