Libertarianism in the US sometimes (most prominently even, with the Libertarian Party) refers to fully deregulated etc capitalism but more generally means something more like anarchism, a left wing ideology.
Anarchocapitalism is an oxymoron and anarchists do not count it as anarchism.
Libertarian socialism = "we never experienced real socialism"
Anarchocapitalism = "we never experienced real capitalism"
.. no? Generally and historically speaking, anarchists can expect to be murdered by the more authority-oriented flavors of leftists at the first semi-convenient point in time. There's the Kronstadt rebellion or civil war era Spain, as examples.
And where exactly did I disagree with that?
5ier: Its the idea that the personalized power of both economic and social rulers should be minimized. Neither inheriting a factory nor inheriting a title of nobility should give you power over me.
