Unless we are at the point where we concede that hard-left is, by nature, totalitarian: which would be a welcome fresh breath of hair to the political discourse. The therm "hard-right libertarian" is nonsensical.

Libertarianism is about personal freedom. That goes against being defined in the Left/Right political axis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism

That link you posted features the "political compass" where freedom is perpendicular to left-right. Did you not read it?

This guy shouldn't be calling himself a libertarian if his big idea is to hand over control of monetary policy to the US Federal Reserve.
