Half the libertarian position is typically about being very socially liberal (privacy, freedom of speech, religious freedom, marriage equality (via removal of the state from that equation), drug decriminalization/legalization, et al). The pirate party tends toward socially liberal based on what I've read over the years. Correct me if I'm wrong.

They originated from Sweden's Pirate Party, which to a large part is social liberal (a mix of socialist and advocating individual freedom). While not all "copies" of the party abroad necessarily has adopted the same position, it seems many of them did.
