its because they’re not, anarchists are the grown up version of libertarians.
Libertarians discovered anarchism and were like “we have that at home!” and they really didn’t.

I use it when I’m trying to ease people into what anarchism actually means. Also gives me an excuse to shit on right “libertarians” lol

Fun fact IIRC; the term was coined by anarchists in France after the word “anarchist” got banned in press.
