Neo-Reactionary Libertarianism (NrL) is a 
Libright and 
Culturally Reactionary ideology which puts emphasis on the necessity of strong social institutions such as family, church, or natural elites for society to function well. Likewise, being a 
catholic follower of virtue ethics, it considers that traditional Christian moral virtues (such as faithfulness, honor, and the like) should be paramount in a well-functioning community.
It aims to synthesize elements of Libertarianism with 
Reactionary sociological views, as well as catholic morality.
It may be characterized as Coindorni's ideology. It remains associated with 
libertarian in its support of private property rights as natural, inalienable rights, but may be considered "Post-Anarchist" (as a parallel to 
Neo-Reactionarism's "Post-Libertarianism") in its rejection of the former term; despite advocating for the abolishment of the weberian state; insofar as it isn't systematically "anti-hierarchy", as 
Anarchism semantically is, thus ceasing to be associated with the term.
As formerly stated, the elements that make this ideology Libertarian is its belief in property rights as natural rights. On the other hand, that which makes it "Neo-Reactionary" is its undemocratic and anti-egalitarian sentiments, and embracement of Neo-Reactionary concepts such as 'the cathedral' - which distances it from most Libertarians, for whom the state is the sole promoter of 
statism - the 'total state', and such.
Beliefs
Natural Law and Natural Rights
For NrL, there is a great difference between natural law and natural rights.
The former includes anything that goes against human nature (or in Christian terms: God's plan for humanity); namely, every sin; being thus a moral category of what is right and wrong, and which can be grasped through natural revelation (as we can see in the like of Aristotle), and reinforced through scripture.
On the other hand, the concept of natural rights refers to matters of legality and political order, and aren't concerned with what one should or shouldn't do, but with what acts should be legally permissible. They are determined by reason through 
argumentation ethics, and are derived from the nature of norms, argumentation, and human action.
From this distinction - which helps it synthesize catholic morality and libertarian legal-political philosophy - it deduces that everything that goes against natural rights likewise goes against natural law, but that not everything that goes against natural law is also legally impermissible. [Note 3]
Private Communities
Based on its beliefs on natural rights (
private property rights), it is led to the conclusion that the weberian state is an unjust and unrightful institution, which isn't born from natural right but rather positivistic right.
It aims at its disbandment and replacement by an order based on a decentralized 
network of private owners and communities (which may in turn form confederations) based on private law. Owners may in turn impose their own rules, but only onto their property, [Note 4] which those that enter must abide by.
These rules, particular to certain owners and communities (not universal, as natural rights are) would be enforced by ostracism or eviction from the community. [Note 5]
Pragmatic considerations
The former section was focused on that which was ideal; a stateless society ruled by private law. However, we live in a statist society, so it is just as relevant to know what is better and what is worse.
It is clear, from the fact of time-preference, that 
democracy does not bring political order closer to the natural order, and likewise 
large states (geographically speaking) lead to lack of competition and thus bigger - less libertarian - states.
From these two propositions, it is possible to argue that the direction one ought to move politics is toward 
anti-democratic government 
, and radical political decentralization. Thus, in terms of political alliance, it favors a 
radical right-wing alliance over a 
left-right libertarian alliance.
Aristocracy
NrL adopts a profoundly anti-egalitarian sociological mindset; while not in regards such as legality. It sees societies as profoundly and inherently unequal and hierarchical, for it is only natural for there to be weak and strong, fool and wise, and it is likewise natural for those below to seek support of those above.
From this reality; unhampered by the state, which monopolizes the role that institutions such as the 
aristocracy used to possess, [Note 6] a natural elite would flourish from the fact of human inequality and social hierarchy.
It is, therefore, not hard to envision a community where everyone is legally equal yet the best [Note 7] are awarded particular respect, social authority, and even loyalty by their peers; in other words, a first among equals.

Notes
- ↑ Kind of
- ↑ Certain elements of it
- ↑ For instance, behaviors such as homosexuality, while against natural law, don't go against natural rights.
- ↑ Such as not allowing the consumption of certain substances.
- ↑ In the case the ostracized individual is an owner he may not be evicted from his own property, but if he were to live in quality of tenant of a landlord - as sole or main owner of a community - he may be 'exiled' from it.
- ↑ The state, seeking to expand its power and command loyalty above from every other social institution, weakens the like of the family, church, and community, as well as the traditional role of the local nobility in favor of the central government;
the crown in the beginning, and 
the "nation" now.
This is a particularly Neo-Reactionary standpoint, which can be found in "Total State" by
Auron MacIntyre.
- ↑ Be it the wisest, strongest, most virtuous, and such, depending on the given culture and context.
