    I'm a little surprised to hear this 'distinction' as I thought
    that some non-trivial percentage of libertarians subscribed to
    anarchocapitalist ideas (as I do). For example, David Friedman
    distinguished himself from his father (Milton) occasionally, his
    father subscribing to a minimal government position and his son
    not subscribing to that position, both men are libertarians,
    however. Like other anarchocapitalists, I find no find no
    conflict being both an anarchist and a libertarian.
