I gotta disagree on some points.
From all the libertarians I've interacted with, I think some communists give libertarians way too much credit. Sure, some of them claim to be anti-war, but not out of genuine concern for those affected or the "good" reasons. Not saying all libertarians are like this, or that libertarians can't eventually become communists, just something to be aware of.
Most libertarians only want to "bring the troops back" so the military can arrest, kidnap, extort and murder brown people and leftists and protect the money and property of the capitalists that libertarians believe they will become one day. Some libertarians I've met are even explicitly pro-war. They only pretend to not be pro-war as long as the government supports a war. As long as capitalists support war, they are all for it.
While probably not explicitly, Max Blumenthal seems to have praised China in how they have handled the COVID-19 pandemic and Xinjiang reeducation facilities.
I used to support Max Blumenthal, and I try not to accuse people for any reason of this, but he's lost my respect for being an anti-vax and a grifter.
Ben Norton on the other hand has my respect.
Polish ones are often ancaps, racists and antisemites and many have the weird mix of nazism-ancapism-monarchism taken from Korwin. They are actively working on being as little connected to reality as they can.
Who is Korwin? I feel like jumping into some rabbitholes.
Janusz Korwin Mikke, first clown of polish politics, famous for praising Hitler every now and then and getting kicked from several political parties he founded. He also courageously fought against EU by sleeping all the time after being elected to EU Parliament. His career started when during the famous 1980 strike in Gdańsk shipyard he came to tell the workers about the wonders of capitalism - they listened to him and they locked him in shed because they though he is police provocateur. Also a verifable stud, but, very surprising for a libertarian, not a pedophile.
In reality he's very successful grifter who live a comfortable life for over 4 decades now by preying on teenage libertarians pocket money. Also he's actually quite useful, since for all this time he is making libertarianism be ridiculed by most people.
How can someone be a nazi, an ancap, and an monarcuck all at once?
No idea what happens in their heads, to average all this, it's mostly the "strong man guarding private property" thing, which often reaches open nazism and monarchism. Do note that the average age of those people is around 16, which would explain that.
