This isn't going to be an article harranging Ron Pauls supporters for being "crazy"

Listen to the crowd freak out after Paul's conjecture about halfway through.

he's probably talking about right wing libertarian "anarcho-capitalists", or "market anarchists", which , many on the left of libertarianism deny are even truly anarchist. Their counterparts on the right of the movement often assert the same thing about them, of course, since thats how political groups are. The big difference is various opinions on the definition of property and it's legitimacy and/or conditions.

The main thing to realize of course is that they all share the same injunction against any initiation of the use of force or, to put it another way, the belief that all social interaction should be voluntary.

Regardless of all that, I'm excited to see that Ron Paul's right leaning somewhat inconsistently libertarian message is getting a lot of attention and grass-roots support despite the traditional snub of the mainstream media and thanks mostly to the democratizing freedom of the internet.

Are we seeing a re-emergence of interest in anarchism? Leftist "libertarian socialism" and mutualism were very popular and even viable in the late 19th and early 20th century with successful anarchist experiments in the United States with time stores, Utopia, and Modern Times. Successful experiments were also carried out in other parts of the world, probably the most notable being Catalonia in Spain until Franco's fascist regime brought it to a premature end in 1939. Left wing anarchism seems to have fizzled after that being supplanted instead by statist communism and socialism throughout the rest of the bloody 20th century, and we have seen how well that turned out. Market anarchism has only been around since the 1950's, and may represent a "pendulum swing" away from traditional leftist domination of the anti-state debate.
