I doubt if you are going to be able to get very far, knowledge-wise, Schlack, because of the lack of definition and mislabeling -- though there may still be a substantial number of posts made.

Probably the only thing that the anarchist element within Libertarianism and the anarchist element within socialism would have in common would be the ideal of an absence of government. Other than that they would have not much, if anything else, in common.

By the way, the "right wing anarchism" you are suggesting would be better termed "anarcho-capitalism", which is heavily influenced by classical liberalism and modern libertarian thought. It is not, however, the equivilent of libertarianism. But, good luck with your thread.:-)
Yours,

as i said Iss, i dont hink i know enough about it. however i should clarify, i meant the extreme end of libertarianism.

my prupose in this thread was finding out a little but more about this stream of thought, most of what ive seen at the moment amounts to opposition to collectivism rather than anything concrete about what libertariansim actually means. or is that it?
