Libertarianism leads them to fail to look beyond "safe and not communist"

I am not sure what you are getting at, can you expand..?

both Koreas and Mongolia

Both are states now, but historically their statehood varied.

In any case, I can see the advantages of a single ethnicity, I'm just not sure that they override everything else.

@sarahdoingthing would be able to explain this better than I can, but Moldbug consistently ignores questions of social life, identity, and the rites.

Safe is preferable to unsafe, and not communist is preferable to communist -- and the possibility of a social life is preferable to atomization, and a stable identity is preferable to anomie and lack of context, and so on.
