    They most definitely are.

    I don’t know anyone who considers communists to be right-wing, and communists are as classic as libertarianism gets.

      Communism and libertarianism have nothing to do with each other. What are you even talking about?

        They most certainly do! lol

        Go to wiki, look up libertarianism, look under the section etymology.

        In a political context it has always carried the meaning of anarchist - it was coined to differentiate libertarian/anarcho-communists from socialist communists.

        When Rothbard appropriated the term for his neoliberal populism in recent American history, even he was drawing from that basis - although obviously in bad faith, since he promotes a platform of oppression.
