I have a question: why is it necessary to bash libertarians and take so much valuable time to criticize their ideology, if they're just some loonatic fringe comparable to neo-Nazis?

Because the ideology is worth criticizing considering the number that call themselves 'libertarian'. A lot mistaken assumptions, and foolishness.

That's not an example of capitalism. Abusive working conditions can occur under any economic system.

Right, and it happened, and continues to, under capitalism. So, it is a good example, just like a photo of a computer chip, smoke stacks, a ceo, a bic pen, etc.

I actually think you could fit in well as a left-libertarian.

Left libertarianism/libertarian socialism is the only one that makes sense to me. Modern libertarianism is too indebted to the right.

This needed it's own thread, why?

Oh right- attention.
