Anarchy is the extreme of libertarianism.

To be a libertarian doesn't mean you have to take it to the very extreme though, it's a sliding scale. Just like how socialists don't have to believe that all property has to be communually owned.

The libertarians on this board don't take libertarianism to the point where they reject all established authority.


But some anarchists do...

Anarchists can be the extreme at either end of the scale. They don't seem to realise that they actually want entirely different societies which would work based on different aspects of human nature - those aspects, being of questionable realism.

Anarchists who want communal property are just communists who either haven't read the communist manifesto or didn't understand it.

Well or impatient communists if they do understand what the end result of communism is supposed to look like.


surely the ends of collectivist anarchism and Marxism are pretty much the same, it is the means in which they differ?  The likes of Bukanin still believe in a Marxist style end of history utopia, but would reject the idea of the dictatorship of the proletariat, arguing instead for an instant abolition of the state.
