Totally!

As an Anarcho-Communist, my principles are basically libertarianism + "let's give things to each other for free" as a movement. The main difference between my values and Anarcho-Capitalism is mainly that I think land should not be privately owned. This works for both communism and capitalism though: for communists, it means free land one can use to produce free resources, while for capitalists it means easy entrepreneurship, since there is land one can use to start a business not monopolised by companies. I can even talk about communism in the framework of capitalism: Communism = out-compete payed products with free ones. The more I think about it, the more left libertarianism and right libertarianism seem to be able to be the exact same thing.

I don't hate you right now. You should feel proud of that.

I'm personally inclined to allow for peaceful voluntary communes as long as they don't intrude on my liberty. That hasn't been the history of things so far though.
