There isn't much point arguing about the word libertarian. It would make about as much sense to argue with an unreconstructed Stalinist about the word democracy - recall that they called what they'd constructed peoples' democracies. The weird offshoot of ultra-right individualist anarchism that is called libertarian here happens to amount to advocacy of perhaps the worst kind of imaginable tyranny, namely unaccountable private tyranny. If they want to call that libertarian, fine; after all, Stalin called his system democratic. But why bother arguing about it?
