Libertarianism is a right-wing ideology though, it's pro corporate deregulation and lasseiz-faire capitalism. If you're pro individual freedom, but opposed to right-wing ideas then the closest thing you can be is an Anarchist.

No. Fascism is right wing. Corporate deregulation and laissez faire capitalism are not what fascists or conservatives allow, pretty big threat to their power.

There are more than 1 right wing ideologies.

And lumping in borderline anarchists with conservatives and fascists is stupid

Libertarians and ancaps are only anarchist in the most facile sense; they're not actually anti-authority or anti hierarchy, they're just anti authority-over-themselves. They have no issue mandating actions to others. Rules for thee but not for me/ rules that bind the outgroup only, is the hallmark of right-wing ideologies, and is ancaps and libertarians to a 't'.

You don't know the difference between libertarians, and conservatives that read "Atlas Shrugged".

Neither of those concepts are right wing.

All of it is capitalism, aka right-wing.
