Libertarianism is a philosophy that only benefits the rich. It would turn America into a feudal society, going backwards as fast as we can.

I don't agree with that assertion, but I am not trying to change your mind about it. My point is meerly that even if it was true that "Libertarianism is a philosophy that only benefits the rich. It would turn America into a feudal society, going backwards as fast as we can." that isn't the same thing as saying that libertariansim or libertarians are selfish.

If your opinion of the effects of libertarianism is true than libertarianism is a bad, perhaps even a disasterous idea, but many bad ideas are not particuarly selfish.
