Actually it is the anarchist wing of the libertarian movement that says that and also most progressives. How is anarchy as typified by the late Murray Rothbard conservative, right-wing, much less far right wing? That don't even make good nonsense.Hoover didn't cause the Depression. That's conservative revisionism.
Capitalism didn't cause it either, but blaming Hoover isn't taken seriously by anyone outside of the far right-wing.
As a Heinleinian pragmatic anarchist I find Rothbardism unrealistic but having attended an LP caucus where the crack pipe was passed around in one direction while someone mentioned that the gun collection should be passed around in the other direction. Since I saw cop cars passing by through the window I came to the conclusion that Anarchists are unsaved and indiscreet but nice people. Two girls/guys in everyone's bed is not a campaign slogan I would use but as a Calvinist also I figure the damned will go to Hell anyway and the lost will hear their Master's voice at the appointed time so I am comfortable with anarchists most of the time and only concern myself with the behavior of myself and other declared believers. But conservative the anarchists aren't.
