I thought all Anarchist now just called themselves Libertarians?

As a Punk Rock Kid I had Anarchist showing up at shows trying to get people to join the movement. Then all the way through the 90s it go crazier. I can;t tell how obnoxious and violent things got. Now 20 years later they are all Libertarians now. It is safe to say I am not a anarchist nor libertarian but I am amazed how many people fail to see the history of anarchy and libertarian thought.

Anarchy falls into self-serving narcissism.

First of all, violence is not Anarchism. The essence of Anarchy is non-violence. Google voluntaryism.

So yes, of course real anarchists identify as libertarians, anarchism is the embodiment of libertarian philosophy, especially the non-aggression principal. (NAP)
