When the left used "economic redistribution" as their coordination point, libertarians made excellent arguments against their surface justification. The leftist arguments weren't sincere so libertarians split into those who opposed the left and who opposed redistribution.

The implications of the libertarian counterarguments lead you pretty straightforwardly to rightism so a bunch followed them to their conclusions and wound up on the right. Others didn't like the end point and so worked to help the left skin-suit libertarians.

I think economics was central to politics from at least the 30s through the 90s. Libertarians being economically right-wing meant they were right on what was central. Since then, cultural and racial disputes have taken precedence. Libertarians are often left on those issues.

"Economics" was never *really* central to politics because all the left's "arguments" were transparently false and the libertarians were obviously correct. The left just manipulated procedural outcomes by pretending to be a neutral arbiter that was not convinced.

Not all libertarians realized this.
