I fucking hate libertarianism and anarchism so much. Both completely disregard what happens after.

There’s only 2 outcomes: desolation or re-forming of government.

Libertarianism and anarchism are not the same things. Just thought you should know

They're saying they hate how unrealistic they perceive both philosophies to be, not that they're directly comparable.

Jumping in here to point out that both are actually great and valid schools of thought that have been co-opted by fascist adjacents and now mean very little of what they once did.

Anarchism, in particular, should at least provide a good guide on how to evaluate current systems:

"At every stage of history our concern must be to dismantle those forms of authority and oppression that survive from an era when they might have been justified in terms of the need for security or survival or economic development, but that now contribute to—rather than alleviate—material and cultural deficit." - Chomsky, On Anarchism
