Libertarian Will Wilkinson, writing in The Economist (2013), helpfully locates ?the core of the problem with libertarian populism,? namely that ?right-wing populism in America has always amounted to white identity politics,? ? unlike left-wing populism, which of course has never amounted to racial identity politics, except the good kind (non-white).
Thus ?the only notable libertarian-leaning politicians to generate real excitement among conservative voters have risen to prominence through alliances with racist and nativist movements.? The magazine generously allows for ?[w]ell-meaning, libertarian-leaning, small-government conservatives? who, not being evil white racists, ?must find this awfully frustrating.?

Orwell?s "Politics and the English Language", identifies libertarianism as ?the velvet glove over the iron fist of racism,? a fist which maintains a ?stranglehold of white rule? even as the glove which is on the fist manages to simultaneously ?prop up institutional bigotry? and ?neuter? the government?s ?power.?
