Ayn Rand condemns libertarianism as Anarchists
and libertarians are plagiarizers of her work but "with the teeth pulled out of them" 

but the definition of the word "libertarian" has changed over the years and there are different types of libertarian.

so was she condemning the type of libertarian we have now or anarchists?
most people who consider themselves as libertarian believe that the government is only necessary for protecting people's life and liberty and nothing more.

That's basically it.

Look through the archives of the Atheist Experience show and you'll find a show where they talk about the problems with Objectivism. Pretty much everything they said I agree with, and I'm about as libertarian as you can get.
