The fact that a sizeable minority of libertarians are anarchists should cast doubt on a model that places them on opposite ends of a spectrum.
Brin is probably using “anarchist” to mean the movement that goes by that name, and not merely the adjective meaning “anti-state”.
But some right-libertarians also call themselves anarchists (though left-anarchists take objection to that).
