Overview
We are in a war: a philosophical, cultural, religious war with the Left. We, the opponents of both leftists and milquetoasts on the right, can be classified as the Alt-Right. One of the parent ideologies of the movement (for there are many parents), which has also been criticizing and fighting the globalists for decades, is libertarianism. Libertarianism, the political-economic ideology that seeks to minimize or outright abolish the monopoly of force known as “government,” appears to be highly divergent from the tradition and hierarchy-oriented Alt-Right. Yet the opposite is true and, with more political discord inbound, it’s worth examining a more comprehensive and permanent union.
If one looks at the “membership” of both libertarianism and the Alt-Right (I put membership in quotes because there is no formal list of adherents for either) they are both heavily divided. A bulk of libertarians are the rugged, self-reliant sort, simply desiring less interference in life, while others are theorists who conceive a better society based entirely on property rights. Still others, a worrying percentage, are “lolbertarians:” people focused more on social justice than on economics, who by opposing borders and white identity are lite-AnCom. The Alt-Right is even more varied. Even excluding the “alt-lite” (blue-pilled civic nationalists) it contains AnCaps, traditionalists, paleo-conservatives, neo-reactionaries, fascists, and NatSocs, as well as those who don’t fit in any of these ideologies. Interestingly, though, there is a surprisingly large overlap between the libertarian and the alt-rightist, and this is over more than fighting a common enemy in the State. Could we–and should we–take advantage of this and why?
First, let’s examine the history of similar concepts: a united conservative (to use the term loosely) and libertarian front. Although rather new to Europe, where a hierarchy imposed by the State has been considered “traditional,” it has its origins in the United States. The “Old Right” was for an isolationist foreign policy, laissez faire economics, and naturally-imposed hierarchies. Fusionism, as associated with Frank Meyer, sought in the 1950’s to create a free society where virtue is integral and coerced values cannot be virtuous: Ronald Reagan was a notable advocate of these principles. Paleoconservatism, championed by Patrick Buchanan, sought to rekindle the tradition of the Old Right in the 80’s and 90’s, but has waned since then. Most lately, neo-reactionaries have supported the concept of authoritarian governments with libertarian economic policies competing with each other as corporations. However, this theory is decidedly anti-populist and not part of the Alt-Right. As such, there is no present-day specific movement encompassing traditionalism and libertarianism, although the sentiment clearly exists and it is no alien idea to either side.
