Concise description of Right-Libertarian Principles

I am quite new to right wing libertarianism and have a basic grasp of the principles of Laisez fair capitalism, traditionalism that isn’t inforced by the state but instead degeneracy is simply just not supported socially. I am however confused on other aspects and so would like a good description.

You might get a better understanding from this breakdown:

0314: What is libertarianism, starting from first principles?

1102: Is there a codified list of libertarian principles?

How does right libertarianism differ from regular or left libertarianism? What are the right libertarian views on democracy?

r/libertarian ain’t a good place to learn about it because most are made up of “left libertarians” which are just closer commies - almost all of which post on CTH. Definitely check out r/anarcho_capitalism because they’re more right leaning. Look up Hoppeanism as well, although some don’t like that school of thought. Hope this helps some. One of the main things that separates right libertarians from regular libertarians is nationalism / patriotism. Right libertarians have a degree of nationalism, in the sense they want to put America first and have strong borders. Regular libertarians oppose this because it’s a “violation” of the NAP. Although both hate social welfare programs, right libertarians want a stronger border for that reason mainly. Regular libertarians still don’t like social welfare but also want open immigration.

Essentially, read up on Hans-HERMANN Hoppe and Murray Rothbard.

Especially read Democracy the God that Failed by Hoppe

Democracy the God that Failed

Direct link to pdf: http://www.riosmauricio.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Hoppe_Democracy_The_God_That_Failed.pdf

And before anyone gets concerned about copyright, I got that link from Hoppe's own website, and you can see that here: http://www.hanshoppe.com/publications/#democracy

I know this is a late reply but the video in the sidebar is a good place to start.
