@ionescur - if it was just one libertarian debating badly I would not have classified it as crumbling of the ideology. There is plethora of these debates ranging from libertarian presidential candidates to libertarian professors and what not.
If it's not documented in a formal manner how do you ascertain what an ideology constitutes of ? I would look at the prominent leaders/representatives of the same.As far as representatives of left wing ideology is concerned , I find the below as an reasonable mapping:
Neoliberal : Hillary and Democratic establishment ( Biden/cory booker/kamala harris etc) on the media side : MSNBC , CNN and other main streamers
Progressive : Bernie Sanders , Elizabeth warren , etc on the media side : David Pakman , Kyle Kulinski , Sam Seder , Cenk Uygur
Libertarianism is not a single ideology. It is as much an ideology as atheism is a belief system.

Not trying to be condescending but how does it add up-
Atheism is the absence of belief and relying on evidence based facts , thus ,forming one's understanding of subject.
By your logic , Libertarianism is the absence of ideology :
Ideology : a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy.
So if Libertarianism doesn't have any economic/political/policy implications , what does it stand for ?

Libertarians are only united in what they are against or what they don't believe is just. Criticisms of the government, police, the tax code, fiat currency etc. are common to all libertarians, but no two libertarians agree on a solution, what they think should replace our current institutions.

I see , i can agree with most of these issues as well but for different reasons and probably forsee different solutions to them.

There is plethora of these debates ranging from libertarian presidential candidates to libertarian professors and what not. - well you linked on that half way a guy start randomly yelling. Does not seem a serious debate.
I assume for libertarianism Reason.com is the more main stream press outlet in the US. Libertarianism does not have something like the Democratic establishment to represent it. As I said I find Cafe Hayek a good resource. The libertarian party not so much.
