Opebo is a parody of a bolshevik rentier (the latter being more important than the former). If there is any crowd which suits him it would be say, 20s Hollywood.
Libertas is the ironic creation of US government Anti-Communist propaganda (which played a major role in inventing modern US 'conservatism'), traditionalist populist paranoia about central authority and a bizarre modernist traditionalism (if that makes sense). The 'markets' stuff is a shiny polish on all that.
Opebo is probably less of the mainstream because his 'tradition' is always going to be demographically smaller.
