I think on the level you’re evaluating, ALL political philosophies (perhaps excluding solopsistic or nihilistic ones) some inherent contradictions. If you take them as “preference for slight to major changes from the status quo” rather than “a complete description of a perfect end-state”, they get a lot more reasonable.
It’s quite consistent to decry some of the more egregious current impositions on liberty without demanding the additional impositions on some that would further free some others.
