Small-l libertarians are people who do their best stick to the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) in their personal behavior, advocate for the NAP, etc.
Big-L Libertarians are people who have a membership card from the LNC or a state affiliate of same.
My gripe is that there are quite a few Big-L types who seem to think that the NAP is either a big joke, or a marketing gimmick that can be tossed aside when it becomes inconvenient.
My preference is that those Big-L types with public speaking roles (candidates, officers, etc.) be small-l libertarians before being put into public speaking roles.

From the article (last paragraph) —
“Libertarians need to decide which side of the gap they are going to end up on with these issues. Extreme government overreach is a major problem in this country, yet losing track of the morality of the country in the name of radical individualism is just as dangerous.”
It seems to me that the author is saying “If you’re not with me, as in explicitly on my side, you’re against me.”

In 2016, Johnson just about completely blew off the NAP, and Mr Bill the Original Weldist displayed (to me, at least) ZERO evidence that he cared about the NAP in the slightest. So neither one of them qualified as a small-l libertarian, by the standard I specified above.

Except that Prohibition wasn’t fully ended, as after it was “repealed,” alcohol that wasn’t sanctioned by the Political Classholes (“licensed,” “taxed,” etc.) was (and still is) “illegal.”
“Bootlegging” is still listed as a “felony”-level offense in the New Mexico Statutes Annotated (under Chapter 66, I think — will have to look it up later).
And now marijuana is also “legal” (if sanctioned by the Political Classholes).

This coming from a guy who swore to support and uphold that Constitution (and signed a written copy of that oath!) and is always ready and willing to use that Constitution as his personal Charmin roll (especially the #2a Second Amendment) when it suits him.
