american libertarianism and anarchism includes a lot of people who would be perfectly fine with authoritarian government if it enforced the things they want (whether that be dark-enlightenment neo-feudalism or biblical law or what) but who adopt libertarian or anarchic rhetoric because they have come to see it as an effective, more socially-acceptable way to pursue their goals.

possibly this is different in europe where left-libertarianism and anarcho-communism have more substantive traditions than they do here, but you can definitely find plenty of people espousing libertarianism or anarcho-syndicalism or anarcho-capitalism who would also establish a theocratic cult state or something if they could.

even among the leftist anarchists you have to admit the similarities between "When The Revolution Comes!" and "When The Rapture Comes!"
