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.
I think their views are similar (and similarly naive, in my humble opinion) as they both emphasize the idea of personal liberty to do whatever they want to do.
The big difference is that the libertarian generally has more assets and thus a stronger belief in property, whereas the anarchist doesn’t.
But I’m neither, so I’d be curious to hear what people who consider themselves these things will say.
I think you’d be better off if you’d done some reading first before forming opinions about it.
Go on?
You could do worse than starting with some Kropotkin.
I do think both (along with most political frameworks) are based around high levels of idealism.
Maybe. Though some people seem to care more about pragmatism than others.
Exactly my point.
