    I feel like no anarchist actually calls themselves a basic libertarian, it’s almost always followed up by socialist or communist.

      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.

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

      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
