It’s not a matter of intelligence. It’s arguing from first principle that capitalism is the solution to its own internal contradictions.
That said, there are libertarians who aren’t as concerned with the economics side of it. They want a small government because they don’t want the government to interfere with gay rights, gun rights and that sort of thing.
I’d say Jesse Ventura falls into the latter category. Not sure if he still identifies as a libertarian by the way. He seems more like a progressive liberal these days, which I guess he always kind of was.
