While both libertarians and anarchists are opposed to governments, libertarianism tends to encompass right wing capitalist values whereas anarchists to encompass left wing socialist values. It's much more than semantics.
I have posted this quote elsewhere but it is perfect here:
"Liberty without socialism is privilege and injustice; socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality."-Mikhail Bakunin

good quote.
"Anarchism stands for the liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion and liberation of the human body from the coercion of property; liberation from the shackles and restraint of government. It stands for a social order based on the free grouping of individuals...." Emma Goldman

But, in the real world...
@phxbillcee . . .but in the real world anarchism is a challenge to authority and hierarchy. More of a work in progress or a moving target than an end goal of "anarchy" as a state of societal order. I think one of the things anarchists are best at, is calling out abuses of power.
