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.

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?

I grew up in a town of around 2000 that had town meetings as made famous
by Norman Rockwell.

Did I mention feuding farmers?  I find distributism fascinating but it,
too, would require a better world than several thousand years of history
suggests.

Again without regard to theology I would say Leo XIII had more on the ball
than the current resident of the Vatican.
