As stated above, libertarianism is often tied to liberalism. This is the true origin of libertarian thought, as then the beliefs of liberals were very much the same as today’s libertarians. The origins of libertarianism stretch back into the Renaissance with the humanist scholars of that time. Galileo and Erasmus were among the main humanists who began this type of thought about human rights.
And where have these wonderful "human rights" got us?

Face it, (classical) liberalism/libertarianism is a fraud. It's a road to nowhere.

1. The freedom to think as one wishes, and to feel as one does. This includes the freedom to opinion, and includes the freedom to publish opinions known as the freedom of speech.
2. The freedom to pursue tastes and pursuits, even if they are deemed "immoral," as long as they do not cause harm.
3. The "freedom to unite" or meet with others, often known as the freedom of assembly.
Idealistic bunk. Read The Protocols sometime; the Jews who wrote that might introduce you to some reality.

The Classical Liberals were bullshit-peddlers, petty Utopians.
