[The Dunedan]

I'd like an explanation for this particular bit of nonsense, if you please, as I find it to be a deliberate and insulting mischaracterization.

That's libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves

Let's hash this apart, shall we?

anarchists

Sometimes, but not always.

who want police protection...

No thank you, most of us are more than content to largely or totally ditch formalized law-enforcement, with the rest being in favor of drastically reigning it in. As for "protection", we'll protect ourselves, thanks. The cops ( if any remain employed ) can bring a mop, a bucket, and a bodybag.

from their slaves.

THIS is what I'd like some explanation of. How is it that we believe in Slavery, in your worldview? We believe that Rights are universal ( no good if you believe in slavery! ), including the Right to be armed ( DEFINITELY no good if you believe in slavery! ); that Individuals have the Right to resist with lethal violence all attempts to coerce them into bondage ( how does this translate to supporting Slavery, again? ), and most if not all of us view our entire political exercise as an attempt to stave off Slavery. How, then, do you ( or the author you quote ) reach and support the conclusion that Libertarians desire to own Slaves? Does a Slavemaster arm his Slaves, or allow them to arm themselves? No.

And don't spout some rhetoric about how Capitalism Equals Slavery. Capitalism is the antithesis of Slavery, because Capitalism is based upon mutually beneficial voluntary exchange. Corporate Mercantilism may be said to equal Slavery, but Mecantilism and Capitalism are antithetical to one another, with Mercantilism being more closely akin to Fascism.
