I am using libertarian, with a small L, in a way you seem not to have educated yourself about -- as a general sociopolitical tendency, such as is largely done here in these United States, and was more done in past days. This libertarianism is what is expressed in the remark, "It's a free country."
In much the same way, then, that I and many other british/europeans use the term 'socialism' with a small s, to describe a general socio-political tendency.
