I have read Marx, thank you, and being a former Communist myself, I know whatof I speak. Having read my Marx et al, I reject it. The ideology of Marx is the ideology of slavery: the individual is a slave of the Collective, the few of the many. This is not freedom, this is tyranny.
The thing about Libertarianism ( radical or otherwise ) is this: no Libertarian system will ever prevent someone from thinking, acting, or voting as a Communist. Communists, however, are generally more than happy to prevent people from thinking, acting, and voting Libertarian.
A Libertarian will never -force- you to keep your guns, keep your wages, or marry 6 wives. You can do as you like, provided you don't physically harm anyone.
A Communist will gladly FORCE you to give up all these things. Statists are more than happy to force people to give up their guns, wages, and wives.
In other words, my ideology does not demand that you be beaten up, killed, or imprisoned for practicing your own ideology. Your ideology, however, explicitly demands that I be beaten up, killed, or imprisoned for practicing mine.
