You are using libertarian in the American way, right? I consider myself both a decentralist and libertarian but that doesn't mean I have a hard-on for Milton Friedman or Ayn Rand although I don't mind them. I don't think we need to copy the US on this usage.
I would suggest that all libertarians must believe in negative liberty, but many don't seem to understand that.
Ayn Rand would tear you to shreds for comparing her to a libertarian.
