Also, they made a big deal about "stealing" the term Libertarian from the left, boasting about it even. So IMO calling FML "Libertarian" is giving them an easy victory over us.

Yep. I always push back against the right who cloak themselves in the stolen virtue of being libertarians, I've even quoted some of the An-Caps who boasted of their pilfering of the term. Most of them just deny it even happened. Pointless trying to reason with such types, but the more I point it out the more it reaches unaffiliated people who investigate more themselves, so that's good.

I completely concur on refusing to dignify them with the label of Libertarian, which at least has a noble and honourable tradition attached to it. They are advocates and apologists of corporate tyranny and slavery, pure and simple.
