I'm subscribed to a wide variety of political subreddits, but usually if I see a post and read the comments and go "yeah that sounds reasonable" I scroll up and the sub is typically r/libertarian. I've got libertarianitus and I'm enjoying it.
Libertarianism in general states that you can do anything as long as you don't violate someone else's rights or force them to do stuff. The way the consolidation of power threatens democracy right now is not something libertarians approve of.

Ideally people could be wealthy without this threatening the integrity of laws. Right now in our system, this isn't the case. If I had to redesign government I'd implement way stricter rules against money+politics, and consider this totally in line with libertarianism.

Though in general, i don't think there's inherently wrong with consolidation of wealth, as long as the consolidation occurred voluntarily, without the use of force on anybody. A lot of current wealth consolidation takes advantage of lobbied laws, which means force.
