While I lean somewhat in that direction (http://strike-the-root.com/private-property-vs-your-stuff) I think the article as written is easy to interpret in many different ways, some of them pretty disreputable. For example there is not enough distinguishing between defensive and offensive violence.

From the article:

    "...The purpose of a libertarian government is to create private property through the organized application of violence to create it..."

Note the author cannot conceive of liberty as anything more than another "government" -- this time a "libertarian government" (an oxymoron if I ever saw one). With him as a "founding father", of course.

One more of nearing 100 "isms" derived from, I suspect, a fear of genuine liberty. At the risk of over-lengthening my comment, I'll post here what I've come up with so far:
