"Maximizing everyone's liberty" is code for taking from some and giving to others to to achieve a "just" result. That's not how libertarians think, that's how modern progressives think. So you think a "real libertarian" should be in lock step with liberal progressives.

I don't want to protect corporate rights over peoples' rights. I want all rights protected in accordance with the non-aggression principle. I don't want you using the power of government to beat down your enemies.

Hey! Don't impute pure utilitarianism to all liberal progressives! I just want good public schools and guaranteed issue health insurance. I don't need to see everyone's economic outcomes equalized!
