Libertarian:

seeks to minimize coercion by the state in both the social and economic spheres of life. Individuals' actions should be voluntary and unrestricted. Individual rights are of primary importance. Government should be limited. Has root in "classical liberalism."

Populist/Statist/Majoritarian:

seeks government intervention in both the social and economic spheres of life. The state is the representative of society (aka the people), should enforce traditional morality or cultural norms. Government should do what is best for the majority of people.
