In my head libertarians are the right and anarchists are the left but they are similar in ideals (little to no government intervention). At least in the sense that if you talk to a libertarian I feel they tend to sound socially right and an anarchist tends to sound socially left. I have no idea if this makes sense at all. If you’re going to tell me to read more, sure, recommend some literature though.

    The way libertarianism (the property rights focused version) has marketed itself appeals to people who believe the other major political viewpoints they are aware of do not value human freedom highly enough. Anarchism also appeals to that sentiment. So it’s going to be similar kinds of people adopting these viewpoints I think. Maybe which you land on will depend on what sort of people you are around, or your willingness to reconsider your beliefs when exposed to new ideas.
