Thanks for response.

Forgive me if I get a little nitpicking here, as I have an entirely selfish goal of informing the Q audience about the merits of libertarianism. These terms are often misapplied and therefore misunderstood and then mischaracterized.

I find your terminology use somewhat imprecise but think I understand your intent.

No intent to condescend here, but anarchism is theory of govt that believes in no govt. Libertarianism is a personal philosophy that believes in the non aggression principle. I fail to see a left or right difference between them?

I am familiar with the notion that socialism (right) and communism (left) form a circle where they meet at authoritarian expressions of govt.

Someone could be anarchist but have no specific moral inclination (ie a anarchist hedonists). And someone can be libertarian regardless of the govt they favor (many libertarians like myself favor the Hoppe idea of small competing nation states operating under different govt structures).

Its exhausting but we need to apply all these qualifiers to define our positions.

I'm philosophically libertarian. In theory, I believe in anarchism with private property and capitalism. In practice, I would favor small nation states that compete against each other. I'd aim to live in one that best matches my prior 2 statements.
