Libertarianism is a flag of convenience.

Your question is what's the difference between a Libertarian and a Fascist. I've asked self identifying Libertarians what is the difference between a Libertarian and a conservative and what I got was a complaint about liberals. They occasionally have a wacky opinion like being for drug legalization and very occasionally being anti death penalty. But really, I can't tell them apart from garden variety conservatives.

A buddy of mine is an Ayn Rand reading Ronulan. Birther. Dude, you're not a Libertarian. You're a Fakebertarian.
