I agree with the rest that said Libertarians don't fit with the rest of the group. Whereas the others are all in the same family. The family of central planning and all the rest Democrats, Communist, Socialist, and National Socialist all are based on the fundemental idea that the state is the master and indvidual is the servant.
The Libertarians do not. They believe the purpose of government is to protect individual rights. And it is the government who is the servant not the master.

National Socialism wants a single leader in charge. Generally they give few freedoms to the people but are very good at maintaining peace and order. Communism is on the other end of the spectrum, gives many freedoms (or is supposed to, but the Soviet Union never attained Communism despite their claims to have done so) to the people but is very volatile as far as maintaining peace and order (with that many people having freedom at least one is going to lose his mind and try to take power, resulting in another facist state like Stalin did in the Soviet Union).
So Marxists, Communists, and Socialists are more or less the same thing, but on varying stages to actual communism. Democrats are extremely watered-down versions of Socialism.
National Socialists, Facists (includes Nazis but Facism doesn't include the hatred of Jews) are on the other side of things and Republicans are watered-down versions of Facists.
Both Democrats and Republicans are attempts to fit Communism and Facism respectively into Democracy.
Libertarians are an attempt at compromise between the two, but aren't "mature enough" yet for Democracy. And by that I mean that they haven't come up with all the policies yet that will allow them to run a government, though all the time they are coming closer to becoming that. For example, we all know where the Republicans and Democrats stand on various issues like military strength, deployment, economic issues, government assistance to the people, values and basically all things the government is generally responsible for.
The Libertarians haven't fully developed all their policies for handling all of these things--some they haven't dealt with at all, others they need more work, and some they have dealt with and we would know how they would handle a situation that came up. They aren't ready yet to handle a government, but keep an eye on them because they soon will be. And that can be a good thing for America.

No they are not the same. Marxist and communists are basically the same, socialist are more moderates than commies, and democrats are the only thing keeping a balance from the abuses of the republican party

Er, none of them are the same, moron.
Democrats and Liberals are similar, both are centre political thoughs.
Communists are far left utopianists, National Socialists are far right Nazis, dont be fooled by the 'socialist' in the name, it was a ruse to gain the workers support.

um no.
democrats are on the left side, the others...if not all...are on the right...
there's a difference to all of them but i'm not too into politics
Communism, as it has occured in the past few decades is far right wing. The ideal communism however, is far left.
also going with general consensus that liberatarian does not belong.

Only in the sense that they are all people.
You're talking about a vast spectrum of ideas on many different issues. While some of those groups may have some common ideas with other groups, there are also huge significant fundamental differences in many of their goals.

All are unique but they have a "government is the cure of all evil" theme except the Libertarians.
The Libertarians are the opposite of them all.

Libertarians do NOT fit in with that group.
Libertarians believe in freedom, but the rest do not.
