You used libertarians as a noun, though.

Nouns are capitalized wherever they appear in a sentence. I used it as an adjective applied to a group of people who espouse actual libertarian values.

I meant your sentence "...even anarchists and libertarians well understand and acknowledge."

That's using it as a noun. Not all nouns are capitalized in English.

Unless you're German or several hundred years old, no, nouns are not capitalized. If you wanna use grammar as part of a political debate, which doesn't make a lot of sense to begin with, at least make sure to know what you're talking about.
