Has anyone else noticed the fine line between libertarians and anarchists? Frankly they have a lot of ideas in common though often arrived at through opposite travels through the political spectrum.

  Libertarians want the government out of our homes and board rooms.
  Anarchists don't have much use for the board rooms unless the furniture is good for fire wood.

    LOL! true.
    But you know the Spanish anarchists did vote, they did have a democracy within the organization. In fact the other groups fighting the fascists turned against them primarily because they did not act quickly on decisions, waiting until all members voted on any actions. Fair but perhaps inefficient in a war.
    
    To clarify the comparison a bit, both anarchists and libertarians want as little government organization as possible. Both view personal freedom as more important than other matters.

      The libertarian and the anarchist share similar roots. If I recall correctly the term "libertarian" is French and comes from a time when anarchist writings were banned. They would be written as "libertarian" writings.
      
      I'm not an anarchist but I do have a number of philosophical agreements with them. In the end, it just isn't practical enough for me to fully accept. I'm alot closer to an anarchist then a fascist.

      FTA- "the Anarchists wanted a single command, but demanded that the working class retain control of an egalitarian army"
      
      That tends to give me the impression that their motives had some purity of purpose.
      
      That is not the kind of thing someone looking to create tyranny would promote.

  Think of libertarians as anarcho-capitalists.
  
  They have anti-authoritarianism in common with anarchists, but they diverge on the issue of the ownership of productive property.
