I have no idea why libertarians chose that word to describe a lawful, peaceful, voluntary society. Here's an example.

"Wow! The moral superiority of freedom, non-aggression, un-coerced exchange!"

That has nothing to do with the definition above. And anarchists, historically, are bomb throwers. Words mean things. You can't just pick the word anarchy, rejects its definition, then say anarchy would be a great thing. The fact is libertarians are the only champions of the rule of law, but anarchy rejects law. If you tell people you support anarchy, they will dismiss you out of hand because they know this definition.
