Im a libertarian but I see that libertarianism may be a much to broad term to define a political position so I would like to call myself a reader of Mises, so how do you call one? misean? misesist?

Misesian.  Mee-zess-ee-an.

Maybe it is just me, but isn't being called a Misesian just as general as being called a libertarian?

Look at the diversity around here, I've been here for less than a week and I see that people around here hold extremely different viewpoints.

But I enjoy the diversity in both terms, I find the term "libertarian" a very successful term because it unites so many people with different viewpoints for the sole purpose of liberty.

Robbery: The nation's fastest growing career!

Duties: Giving the people their bread and circuses, extracting payment by force, validating legitimacy, etc.

Job Outlook: Ever increasing and shows no signs of stopping!

ANd it has also become a very generic term speaking little of actual principles behind it, in fact most "libertarians" dont see liberty as the prime goal anyway
