That surprises me. The liberal I know is contradictory to libertarian (in the European sense of the word).

By "social libertarian" they don't mean the Ron Paul kind of libertarian, that's economic. Social libertarian just means the opposite of social authoritarian.

What does social-libertarian mean though? Libertarian socialist?

Yeah, I tend to be in favor of lots of gov't intervention in the economy but very little in people's personal lives.

Hmm... I think I found a flaw with this model. I feel like left-libertarianism and right-libertarianism shouldn't even have the same axis. Their definition's are similar, but their associated narratives are like night and day!

You mean social libertarianism and economic libertarianism? I think they just call social 'left' and 'right' rather than anti-gov and pro-gov, respectively.
