Saying left libertarian is like saying anarcho-capitalist but it sounds dumber.

It means non-authoritarian and anti-capitalist. The US version of libertarian, which are just capitalists that want the market to be the government, is not the definition of the word.

is not the definition of the word.

Unfortunately, though, it is now. At least here.

On that note, you know many words have multiple definitions, so even if a definition colloquially exists, that differs from the one of most wide use, doesn't mean that in that local, the wider use case is suddenly void.
