I continue to wonder why people describe intensely authoritarian ideas, policies and regimes as "libertarian". But tacking a reference to anarchism on the start just underlines what a ludicrous mangling of political language this is.
It's like describing FarceBook as 'anarcho-libertarian media', or the fediverse as 'fascist-authoritarian media'. A total inversion of reality.

"Astra Taylor is also a writer, activist and documentary maker, and founded the Debt Collective, a fascinating experiment in building structured, quasi-unionised solidarity around personal debt, with the long term goals of abolishing student tuition fees, nationalising healthcare and building tenant power."
