It's unfortunate that young leftists don't understand the real territory of rightwing politics (their deeper espoused values), because there are genuine avenues for fractures and change there.
Conservatives tend to be statists even though they've been brainwashed into thinking they're not. They tend to want grand projects, community halls, roman columns, socialism for their neighborhoods, family, community, and churches - none of which economic Libertarians agree with. Libertarians would be buying the marble back to sell it on the freemarket then eyeing the family and wondering why they can't buy them as slaves too. Really opposing philosophies if you go by their ideals.
Then throw the Christian Distributism, Communitarianism, and Georgism in there, and Conservativism starts to look pretty leftwing, leaving Libertarians out in the cold.
Throw in a concept like Aesthetic Justice, the idea that poor suburbs should look and be designed to be beautiful and that that would reduce crime, create safer, more neighbourly communities - stuff like that might even break the conservative's love of military policing.
It's all a matter of perspective.
