    I’ve never heard

    Well, looks like conversation is impossible then. Unless you have better sources, those two words are not 100% the same. Anarchism is a specific word, coming from the greek anarkhia, meaning “without a ruler”. Libertarianism, on the contrary, is a more broad word, since liberta is latin for “freedom”.

      This is not about the dictionary, but about historical movements/strains of thought. The french “socialisme libertaire” is the term they used in 18th century France. And libertarian socialism aims for the freedom of all people from rulers.
