Libertarianism was actually invented as a Leftist political philosophy where the people leveraged the state’s power to maximize freedoms (beyond liberalism). That’s why right wing Libertarians don’t make sense. It’s been invented by think tanks to confuse us. Ask a right wing Libertarian what they believe outside of their economic principles, and it’s often just nazi shit. Or anarcho capitalist shit. Oof.
Libertarianism in general doesn’t hold much water when you start looking for holes. It’s one of those things that sounds good on paper at first glance, but the more detail you dig for, the shittier it becomes.
I don’t think it has any potential in-and-of-itself; but as a party to keep a healthy amount of pressure on big blue, and occasionally put out a not-horrible policy… I could see it.
