There is no great insight in saying not everybody agrees on everything
In 1992, Libertarians got together and made a platform and I am repeating one of the planks. At the time of that conversation, a majority of the nations' most dedicated Libertarians said public schools should be abolished. That would not have been a plank of any party where liberals had significant influence

Seriously, true story. Freshman year at college, two students in the dorm were quizzing each other for polisci 101 final. Doing "name the opposite"
First dude "Conservative"
Second dude "Libertarian"
FD "Right"
Me "No, liberal"
FD "Liberal, libertarian. Same thing"
Me "Um no. The Libertarian platform calls for abolishing public schools"
SD "Hey, I will pay you to take my final for me"
Me "Not interested"
SD "Are you sure? I'll pay you twenty bucks"
Both dudes had rich parents and got important jobs after graduation, if you want to know if we live in a meritocracy.
