As for Ron being claimed to be the “right” one in the end, I can’t think of any other time his outlandish adherence to his “free market” beliefs was portrayed seriously.
It seems to me that towards the end of this vid, this is clarified. I haven’t seen this show so I don’t have an opinion, just saying.
Those things are what make Ron a good person despite his libertarianism. The show goes to great lengths to make it’s characters likeable, but the characters are also often wrong about things. Ron is generally wrong when he’s clinging to capitalist nonsense like this (among other things), but when it’s about duty, friendship, and responsibility, Ron is a great example of how to be a decent person. Tbh, thinking about it, Ron is probably more of an anarchist than a libertarian. He doesn’t trust the government or corporations, and is much more comfortable living in the middle of the woods than he is in a “free market”.
In short, just because the character has good traits doesn’t mean they’re the one intended to be “right” in an episode. Ron is great, but he’s wrong a lot. That’s just part of the show (which I highly recommend. Start with season 2 if you do. Season 1 isn’t terrible, but it’s a rough start for the series).
