Are you schizophrenic? How do you live with so many contradictory political philosophies? Confused Fall
I don't see any contradictions. Please point them out to me.

Communism and libertarianism. You want no private property yet you affirm the free market? A market without private property is not free at least not according to any libertarian understanding of "free market."

Right populism versus libertarianism. Restriction by the government on the movement of peoples is against libertarian ideals.

Anarcharism versus republicanism. Anarcharism is the absence of government and republicanism is a type of government.
My ignore list

A free-market is a deregulated market, no? Certainly a market where everyone is free to use the means of production is far freer than a market where the means of production are held by a select few.

Than how do you explain political parties like UKIP who are opposed to immigration & also libertarian?

Anarchism means no state, not no government.

ordo liberalism is NOT by any means whatsoever social democracy. I ascribe to much of ordo liberalism but not at all to social democracy.

Under your list, mine is a mix of Social & Classical Liberalism, Social Demoncracy/Ordoliberalism, Green politics, Republicanism (not the modern US brand but the opposite of Monarchism) and Secularism.

Economically it is basically the same. On social issues I suppose ordoliberals might be more conservative. Although I still voted revolutionary socialist even though I am very conservative on immigration.

Economically is not the same at all. ordoliberals are proponents of a free market with government controls to ensure there is no monopolies etc. Social democrats believe in redistribution of wealth.

The wise therefore rule by emptying hearts and stuffing bellies,
by weakening ambitions and strengthening bones.
If men lack knowledge and desire, then clever people will not try to interfere.
