Both terms as they are currently used will finish Alt-Right anyway. Someone coined the word "Alt-Lib" to describe these people. Though he cast too wide a net when looking for examples, he wasn't wrong: https://twitter.com/OmanReagan/status/958150463601258496 …

Also look up that person's tweets where he describes that the Alt-Right recruitment passes through a fake 'liberal' centrism to indoctrinate and push further rightward. He saw it first-hand.https://twitter.com/MrHappyDieHappy/status/967887589612097536 …

Isn’t neoliberalism the truest descendent of classical liberalism these days? Or European parties like the Lib Dems or FDP?

There's been a deliberate effort for years by libertarians to co-opt the term "classical liberals" - as if the intellectual architects of liberalism hadn't gone on at great length about the importance of a strong state to regulate markets and prevent abuses between citizens.

A lot of alt-right Youtube thinkers do that too. It allows the glib "I used to be a liberal" or "liberals lost me" or "this is how you should liberal." The trolling worked for a while. But now we've seen it a bit, I think/hope it's less effective.

Serious question. What in your view differentiates a classical liberal from a libertarian in the context of 19th Century politics: i.e., were there any figures of that era whom you would associate more with libertarianism and why?

It would seem to me that the exercise is a bit like trying to pick the Amish out of a crowd of farmers in the 1850's: the things that most set them apart didn't yet exist.

Modern libertarianism is an ethos dedicated more to rejection of government out of privileged self-interest rather than the liberty interests of oppressed groups.
