It seems "libertarian" followed suit of most other political labels: more definitions than adherents.

First you had the left libertarians, who, in typical left fashion, were splintered a million ways. Later you had right-libertarians who gradually splintered a million ways: I remember Gary Johnson being accused of being a statist for being a fan of driving licenses, I've seen minarchists at constitutional libertarians throats, and ancaps who choose to wear a different label. Don't even get me started on what makes justified property and how that divides this label even further.

If I didn't include this sentence here, I'm sure I'd get a comment about how none of those are real libertarians or how there is only one true libertarianism.
