But as far as I'm concerned, "libertarians" are crypto-Marxists.

I think you're mistaking "anarchists" (which they aren't) for small "l" libertarians.

The author of this piece blows it even on the definition of the "Nolan Chart". One axis measures Personal Freedom while the other axis is Economic Freedom. Libertarians (big or little "l") score high on both axes, facists/marxists/statists score low on both. Theoretically an "anarchist" would score 100% on both.

But having an ex brother-in-law who is now a self proclaimed "anarchist" but who is really a radical communist and has been for thirty years, I can appreciate some of the confusion.

Especially when leftist scum like Whorealdo Rivera and Bill Mahr declare themselves "libertarian".

They're about as libertarian as Karl Marx.

I must concur. I agree with your interpretation of the actual definition of anarchist; but I also agree that every self-proclaimed anarchist (as well as those from the European and American movements of the 1900-20’s) were Marxists. I think the term is as misunderstood and misused as the term fascist. People think ‘anarchy’ means destruction of the state and status quo...
