Depends on which libertarian ideology is being expressed. Left libertarians - anarcho-syndicalists libertarian socialists, anarcho-communists are all libertarians. The right wing of anarchism aren’t leftists, the left wing are.
Go to wiki, look up libertarianism, look under the section etymology.
In a political context it has always carried the meaning of anarchist - it was coined to differentiate libertarian/anarcho-communists from socialist communists.
When Rothbard appropriated the term for his neoliberal populism in recent American history, even he was drawing from that basis - although obviously in bad faith, since he promotes a platform of oppression.
I feel that comment is on the vibe of “liberals are leftists”.
Edit: “that comment” as in the one above the one I’m replying to…
Libertarians are not leftists.

They most definitely are.
I don’t know anyone who considers communists to be right-wing, and communists are as classic as libertarianism gets.
Communism and libertarianism have nothing to do with each other. What are you even talking about?
They most certainly do! lol
