he was no Libertarian. He viewed capitalism... as a clear form of outright degeneracy.

So do Actually Existing Libertarians.

By Actually Existing Libertarians, I assume you are referring to actual libertarians, i.e. class struggle anarchists or anarcho-syndicalists, or any variety or shade of anarchism that tinges the black with the red?

Quite so.

Right-liberals complain that social democrats stole their preferred nominator, and I'll do the same about right-liberals.

Damn it!  Anarchist doesn't equal libertarian!  I want police, courts and a military thankyouverymuch.

Well I know many self-described libertarians who truly believe it would be better to just let people pay by the month for private security and fire services, pay for private arbitrators in lieu of a court system and replace the military with a mashup of stateless Blackwater-type private security contractors.

Going no-true-Scotsman-esque on us, eh, Tiffany?
