          Anarchist is considered libertarian left, while what we typically call Libertarian is libertarian right. Yes, Anarchist is libertarian, but with an emphasis on the welfare of people, while libertarian right is usually about the freedom of businesses to exploit the people.

          • French anarcho-communists invent the synonym “libertarian”
          • US fascists locally co-opt the word to obfuscate the inseparable nature of capital and state
          • Person on explicitly leftist forums vibe checks that by “anachist” you didn’t mean “libertarian”

          I’m tired, boss 😂

          Is this even in question? Anarchism quite clearly fits within the sphere of libertarian ideas.

          The weird part is thinking that’s a bad thing or somehow incompatible with leftism.

          …what kind of definition of libertarian do you have, that anarchists aren’t included in it?

          Edit: There are non-leftist anarchists, like the whole post-left thing, but I have a feeling that’s not what you mean
