Unfortunately, widespread misconceptions about libertarianism and capitalism (the free-market economy) exist throughout the world. Films, literature, mainstream media, and a significant portion of academic intellectuals have played a major role in perpetuating these misconceptions—portraying capitalism as the root cause of wars and attributing the crimes of the U.S.state to capitalism. In this environment, libertarianism is accused of supporting the U.S. state’s policies and its wars, and sympathizing with its imperialism.

It’s no secret that the emerging “New Right” is radically opposed to libertarianism. A glance at their commentators in alternative conservative media, the pronouncements of popular “Anon” accounts, or the recent chorus of prominent voices attacking Massie reveals a growing disdain for libertarian ideas. I’ve personally watched the New Right’s anti-libertarian philosophy refine itself and have long wanted to write a counterargument, only to run into the prohibitive hurdle of their criticisms being largely scattered and unorganized.
