":::Yworo, first you claim they are ""just as diverse"", now you admit it ""it's not black and white"".  Which is it?  My argument is that your claim is soapboxing, something not supported in the sources.  There are no sources that say those other ideologies are ""just as diverse"".  Besides, the issue isn't about diversity, it's about how related they are, whether all the ideologies have common roots from which they all evolved, or whether they have distinct unrelated sources.   The complete dearth of sources describing any one of those other ideological labels as being comprised of distinct ideologies with original unrelated sources is telling.  They are not ""just as diverse"".  What is deficient about this argument?  It makes no reliance on all sources about libertarianism making this observation.  By the way, referring to the distinct ideologies as ""variants"" does not preclude the possibility of them being distinct with separate/unrelated origins.No one is questioning the complexity of Conservatism et. al.  Yet that article never-the-less correctly associates the topic of that article with the political ideology of the U.S Republican party, just as this article should associate the topic of this article with the political ideology of the U.S. Libertarian Party, something you oppose (see below).
