What's the difference between "classical liberalism" and "libertarianism"?

Libertarians in general don't want the government fucking with us, our freedom, our autonomy and our rights. We view taxation as government sponsored theft of our money, laws thar restrict our rights and freedom as tyranny and oppression.

Classical liberalism emphasizes moreso on freedom, democracy, and the importance of the individual.

Libertarianism believe that the state should do little more than protect people from violence, theft or fraud.

[Cubus]

So libertarianism involves more state?

[Lucy68]

If I remember correctly from when I took a political science course back in college, libertarianism believes the government should not be involved in the individual's lives or have less control of the lives of individuals. They also opposed warfare, the state and the power people in the state have, don't trust authority at all, and the same can be said about both military and nationalism. And according to my professor they also are against the economic system and the how the political system is

[Cubus]

Remember that in USA "liberalism" = "left"

[Lucy68]

Well they did try to get the police defunded and remember back in the summer of 2020 Washington State had their own community without laws, law enforcement, everyone else made their own decisions, etc.

For classical liberals, the state is more important.
