Um, I disagree with that statement. An anarchist believes in no authority and no government at all. Everyone for themselves with no one controlling anything or anyone. A true survival of the fittest, dog-eat-dog, Mad Max kind of world.
You can disagree with my statements, but that doesn't means that your ignorant statements about anarchism should be taken seriously.
Anarchism has never been about "true survival of the fittest, dog-eat-dog, Mad Max kind of world." That's just silly and it doesn't even recognize what 130+ years of what anarchists have actually said.
A Libertarian Socialist still believes there needs to be a government, but a very limited one. They would need a government to enforce the liberty of others and make sure everyone can do what they want when they want to, so far as they don't impede on the rights of others. The socialist part makes sure that the wealth and capital is evenly spread out among the people so that no one group of people has more power than the other.
A libertarian socialist, aka an "anarchist, is against any form of government. I would refer you to my website to explain this, but it is offline today. Check out Wikipedia if you are still confused about what a libertarian socialist really believes. Noam Chomsky is one of the more famous libertarian socialists.
Libertarian socialism = anarchism = no authority, no government.
Those two beliefs are completely separate, and I wouldn't invite either of them to a dinner party...
Well, I wouldn't come to your dinner party, because if your cooking reflected your understanding of politics, the apple pie would have meat in it and the steak would be a combination of lentils and dandelion greens.
