The right wing of libertarianism is virtually indistinguishable from conservatism.

Au contraire...

He’s right about libertarians in general of course. That’s why I specifically said right wing libertarians. They have fewer of the problems that he brings up and more of the virtues of conservatives. In fact, the word libertarian is elastic enough that in my opinion it can apply to the pro-liberty, genuinely constitutionalist end of conservatism. There’s a region in there where there’s some overlap.
