Libertarianism/classical liberalism is just low tax marxism.
Libertarianism is the exact opposite of Marxism, so I don't understand your point.
Marxism: The concept of class struggle in which a central role in understanding society's allegedly inevitable development from bourgeois oppression under capitalism to a socialist and ultimately classless society.
Libertarianism: The political philosophy that takes individual liberty to be the primary political value. Libertarians are classical liberals who strongly emphasize the individual right to liberty. They contend that the scope and powers of government should be constrained so as to allow each individual as much freedom of action as is consistent with a like freedom for everyone else. Thus, they believe that individuals should be free to behave and to dispose of their property as they see fit, provided that their actions do not infringe on the equal freedom of others.
As you see, Marxism concerns itself with society whereas Libertarianism protects the rights of the individual. The US Constitution doesn't mention society. The Constitution enumerates the rights of individuals. Libertarians aren't all that crazy. The founders of the United States of America were libertarians and believed in the individual. And now their faces are on our money, so it must mean they're ok.
