The author wasn't debating how libertarianism is ideologically similar to communism. A lot of what he's talking about is perception and viability-- Both have become sort of the fringe skeleton in each wing's closet (communism being so for the Left for quite some years now). I think his motive has to do with the seemingly recent, "sexy" appeal to call yourself a "libertarian" on the Right and wrap yourself in the Constitution. I believe it was this authors intent to expose those people, expose their flaws, thus likening them to the status of Communists here in America (i.e. undesirable....sorry).

If you want to be simple and say that nazism is the marxism of the right, or capitalism is the opposite of communism, then go aead. I thought that this author was at least trying to be more accurate than that.

I don't think he said that.
