I've heard multiple times that D&D is libertarian but I don't get how.

The implied setting (as in, what comes out from just the rules and the descriptions themselves) suggests bands of adventurers roaming the largely unexplored wilderness, slaying all manner of random-rear end dungeon denizens, taking their loot, and trying to become rich enough to eventually become land-owners.

There's a certain libertarian mentality to bootstrapping your way to success in a virgin territory without the oversight of a larger government, especially when compared to the implied politics of a game like, say, Shadowrun.

It's also the case that Gygax was literally a member of the Libertarian Party.
