Well, yes and no. "Libertarian" has fairly distinct implications
of "propertarian" as well, these days, and so I would never apply
it to myself, where I would freely apply "anarchist".

There is a Daniel Dennett article called "Giving Libertarians What
They Want", which uses "libertarian" in the sense "believer in
free will" (!)
