Liberalism, conservatism, and libertarianism have no monopoly on logic. All ideologies have illogical stances, where libertarianism having the most. Ideologies are nothing more than belief systems.
Logic, itself, doesn't have a monopoly on criteria for decision-making. Logic can very readily be used to rationalize all manner of callous, self-serving behavior. Logic is necessary but also necessarily subordinate to decency.

True- However, I think we can agree that liberalism has the market cornered on idiocy.

Oh look, another thread where you blindly bash libertarianism. How original. You haven't posted on the subject in a solid two days.
Libertarianism the most illogical? No...Impractical? possibly....but then again, throughout history, the impractical approach was always what got **** done
I have to say... I'm the first to criticize libertarianism for all its negative aspects, and there are numerous negative aspects of libertarianism. However, illogic is not one of them. Self-centeredness can be very logical.
Libertarianism is simply the belief that adults should, with few exceptions, be free to make their own decisions and reap the reward or suffer the consequences that result from those decisions. Modern liberalism is the belief that the masses are too ignorant to be left to their own devices.
Who was talking about self-serving? I said, "self-centeredness" - and to preclude confusion, specifically: The perspective that puts the financial enrichment of one's self above the basic needs of others. The perspectives of personal avarice; money over people; brutalistic opportunism for personal gain without regard to the impact on others.
All very logical; all very disreputable.
