I agree, and on this point I think Anti-Cap and Anarcho-Cap should see
things the same way.

Although I have recently developed very deep reservations about
Libertarianism, I do think that Trade should be free. Where I differ from I
Libertarian, I suppose, is that I think that citizens should reserve the
right to change *any* system that isn't working.

On that basis, I can imagine an all-thing (concept from the blog post, for
those who haven't read it) advocating separation of trade and government,
which would presumably be a step toward Libertarianism. Minimizing
government in other ways strikes me as a good, thing too. The big
difference, however, is that if that just makes things worse (or bad in
some new, different way), then the people should have the option to change
gears again.
