Libertarian is a term equivalent to social anarchist or anarcho-communist, at least in the classical sense. In America, people who call themselves libertarians usually don't fit that mold, though. The 'Americanized' version of the term was deliberately lifted by a very specific and very bizarre variant of the New Right in the early 1970s that didn't play well with others and embraced parts of the new social movements while fundamentally rejecting the social content of them. In reality, they're not 'libertarians' in the sense that they seek absolute freedom insofar as possible, but instead just support absolute liberty for really wealthy dickheads who shouldn't (in their view) be encumbered by 'Big Government' bureaucrats telling them not to spend their 'hard earned' (lol) money on hookers and blow.
