Te word "libertarian" was redefined by an-caps to mean Ultra-neo-liberalism. It has no real connections with the origin of the term except for an-caps insisting on calling themselves anarchists.

There was some unusual person here the other day claiming to be pro anarchy but had views starkly opposing libertarian ones... They seemed to be all for not being told what to do, but their concern for liberty didn't seem to extend beyond themselves. My assumption would be that in a state of anarchy, they'd quickly be taking everything off everyone, then trying to establish an authority to try ensure other people didn't take their stuff. Sitting in a beautiful colonial mansion, exercising their freedom to own other people, thinking how cool anarchy ended up being for them, while blissfully unaware of the pitchforks and torches marching onto their property to the beat of anarchist chants.
