Libertarians are a cult. Libertarians have their own special beliefs and jargon wildly at odds with prevailing cultural norms. The Libertarian Party members must sign an oath when they join. They believe they are a global revolutionary movement with the force of morality behind it. Those infected with libertarianism rarely return to more conventional political beliefs.
Many libertarians are heavily armed and believe the government is their enemy.
Libertarians are not a cult. Libertarian organizations have no strong leaders and no secret agendas. Their ideology is drawn from dozens of unrelated sources throughout history. The only thing they have in common is their lack of belief in government. Completely independent libertarian organizations work together without conflict.
