     The synthesis or attempted synthesis of libertarianism with conservatism and the alliance of certain libertarians with the Republican Party led to the development of conservative-libertarianism, which has obscured the character of right-libertarianism. In practice, right-libertarianism is often reduced to conservative-libertarianism.
