      Graeber was kind of an all over the place anarchist type and it would have been absurd to call him a liberal. He hung out with a lot of liberals though, but that's just kinda how it is if you're a professor.

      He's absolutely an anarchist and openly identified as such. And he very much criticized Marxist assumptions about the nature of capitalism and the progression of the modes of production throughout history. Which is probably why people called him a lib, because that's what leftists call other leftists they disagree with.

      Lib.
