Thiel calls himself a libertarian: "I remain committed to the faith of my teenage years: to authentic human freedom as a precondition for the highest good. I stand against confiscatory taxes, totalitarian collectives, and the ideology of the inevitability of the death of every individual. For all these reasons, I still call myself “libertarian.” "

Ah yes, that core libertarian tenant they all believe in. Can't truly be a libertarian without refusing to accept your own mortality.
