Well a hypothetical libertarian should only share a love of capitalism in general with conservatives, and should otherwise hate everything conservatives do.
Fwiw the term "libertarian" as used on these compasses is referring purely to the social scale, and not the economic one. So an American capital-L "Libertarian"* should be right-libertarian. But left-libertarians are also possible, being of the views "hey, everyone should have the resources to receive good healthcare, education, and a safe living space", but also "people should be able to do what they want to their own bodies, so long as they aren't impacting on others".
* using it here strictly in its original conception, rather than in the modern sense of "far-right Republican trying to hide behind a friendlier sounding label"
Free markets yes, capitalism no
