So libertarians support laws making legal subtle force and fraud, ca. carried interest, private prisons, private ownership of everything, with no commons.

Libertarianism started on the far left, explicitly opposed to private property, largely overlapping with anarchism. Modern US-style right-wing libertarianism basically cribbed most of it but added a property right fetish.

(Dejaque, the founder of libertarianism called Proudhon, the founder of anarchism, a "moderate anarchist, liberal, but not libertarian")
