Paleolibertarianism is a right-libertarian ideology that was strategically promoted by Lew Rockwell (credited with hiring the racist ghostwriters of the Ron Paul newsletters) and Murray Rothbard (a founder of anarcho-capitalism) in the 90s to try to appeal to socially conservative reactionaries. It basically synthesizes paleoconservatism with right-libertarianism. Rockwell later disavowed paleolibertarianism as the movement predictably became extremely toxic and was pretty much exclusively associated with far-right white supremacists and neo-Confederates. Paleolibertarianism is fringe even among right-libertarians nowadays and is typically associated with the more fascist anarcho-capitalists. The white supremacist Austrian School economist Hans-Hermann Hoppe is an example of one of the few notable paleolibertarians remaining today. He supports the establishment of “covenant communities” that would ultimately function as private ethnostates.
