I don't know if you've seen https://www.lewrockwell.com/ . That certainly isn't the only libertarian site and not all the authors are particularly libertarian but it reflects the anarcho-capitalism that's associated with the label. There have been some twists along the way. I like to call it the War of the Murrays. Murray Rothbard was from the Austrian School, following Mises. That's the Ron Paul/Lew Rockwell branch. Murray Bookchin was left all the way and built on some of the American individualist anarchists like Tucker and Spooner. Also anti-government but also anti-capitalist. You get some odd crossovers like the Mises Institute publishing Carson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Carson So, like many thing US libertarians might be a little different breed of cat. My view of the anarcho-capitalists are people who want to be happy capitalist in a completely free market with everyone playing by the rules, and no taxes. Oh, and legalize marijuana while we're at it. That's lead to a certain association of libertarians with dopers. The fly in the ointment? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-capitalism#Non-aggression_principle I grew up in a town of around 2000 that had town meetings as made famous by Norman Rockwell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_Speech_(painting) Did I mention feuding farmers? I find distributism fascinating but it, too, would require a better world than several thousand years of history suggests. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributism Again without regard to theology I would say Leo XIII had more on the ball than the current resident of the Vatican.
