With the exception of anarchism being anti-capitalist.

Any ‘anarchist’ that is pro-capitalism is generally not regarded as anarchist by the wider anarchist movement.

Fun fact: befor the modern US meaning, libertarian used to mean anarchist-communist as a way around french authorities banning the word anarchist in the late 1800 if I remember correctly.

The first use was Joseph Dejaque criticising Proudhon for not going far enough. Specifically he criticised Proudhons views on women.

This first use was in the 1850's I believe. Left wing libertarianism predates the right wing use of the term by about a century.

During that time it was very much a term that encompassed anarchists and some other socialists such as libertarian Marxists.
