Libertarianism, or in this context, Right-Wing Libertarianism, refers to the ultra-indivdualist and hightly idealistic ideologies that view the government as the primary force that reduces their "liberty", and view capitalism as a largely voluntary and effective system. Similar to Liberals, Libertarians put a large amount of stock in the ideas of "natural law", but unlike Liberals, Libertarians take "nautral law", as well as indivdualism, to a much more extreme conclusion, to the point where many of them are willing to deprive the poor and needful of basic social programs all in the goal of creating an idealistic "free-market" utopia.[1][2][3]
Right-Wing Libertarians can be broadly split into three groups - Mainstream Libertarians (those who make up the majority of the movement, and whom are the least extreme), Minarchists (those who want a "minimal state"), and Anarcho-Capitalists (who are the most idealistic and extreme).[4] Futhermore, while Libertarians are some of the most fanatical apologists of capitalism, they are often times rather progressive on certain social issues, such as drug prohibition, firearm ownership, and mass incarceration of the poor.[5]
In spite of Libertarianism being, in theory, an anti-state ideology, Libertarians often have a trend of embracing white-supremacist ideas, and otherwise Fascist ideology. This trend is known as the Alt-Right Pipeline.[6]
