I think Black's views are mostly accurate. Vast majority of people who pretend to be 'libertarians' are in reality rabid supporters of industrial fascism.
When I first realized that I was already a libertarian, and always had been, in about 1975, it was always quite clear that Liberals, Leftists, and fellow-travellers hated (or at least strongly disliked) libertarianism. For reasons that are clear studying the Nolan Chart https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolan_Chart and the World's Smallest Political Quiz. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World%27s_Smallest_Political_Quiz The Right opposed libertarianism because libertarians promoted both personal and economic freedom, while the Right seemed to like only the latter.The Left opposed libertarianism because libertarians promoted both personal and economic freedom, while the Left seemed to like only the former.
That made 'sense', so to speak. Not that the liberals and conservatives actually made sense.
For a human to make sense, they need an education (rather than schooling), to order their 'thoughts', to use logic, to spot strawmen, etc etc. An educated nation of humans - there's some wistful hope...
