You are right, the author of this tripe is not making a libertarian argument at all. Funny that they would say they were when they were arguing against individual liberty and responsibility. I guess I could make sense of an argument against the state sponsoring vice, but then it does now (e.g. welfare for the poor = theft from the productive).

Yep. The entire article is an odd contradiction in terms, which is what generally happens when a some lefty orbiting the planet in some alternate universe takes the time to try to pose an argument from an allegedly moral angle.
