    Yes, and we call ourselves Anarchists or left libertarians because the right specifically and intentionally stole that term

      Exactly this. And even when I do use the term libertarian. I make sure to express little l versus Big L Libertarianism explicitly. Big L Libertarianism is simply a noun randomly applied to something. And doesn’t mean anything more than the people in charge want it to mean. Like big C Communism versus little c communism. Totally different things.

      Hell the man who coined the term and defined libertarianism. Explicitly fought against most of the type who profess to be big L Libertarians today.

        That’s simply not true. I’m not a large, and therefore don’t pretend to live in a system I don’t. This is the system that I live in, and I have to do everything possible to reduce harm to others, which includes voting. Maybe try educating yourself?
