So if someone says "I'm a libertarian" then murders someone, that means all people that identify as libertarians also want to murder people?

That's not the point

OK take a read of this
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_killings_under_communist_regimes
110 million killed in Soviet Union from 1900 onward. And that's just one regime.
Those killings were made possible due to an ideology, just as the millions of killings under the Nazis were.
If the ideology allows these heinous things to take place (whether because it's a flawed system or flawed people exploit a system) then I don't think anyone should be proud to associate themselves to it.
If you are drawing an equivalence with your lone libertarian murderer then I find that a poor argument.

No. But surely you must realise that is a silly comparison.
Having an strong authoritarian and coercive state is necessary to implement communism.

I think promoting any extreme politics is a fundamentally a bad idea - if she is doing what you say she is doing then I guess I strongly disagree with her methods.
“I’m literally a communist, you idiot.”
That is absolutely 100% allying yourself with the communist ideology and all that entails.
I think that's a bad idea as it normalises an extremely damaging ideology. You wouldn't have anyone on daytime TV proclaiming that they are a Nazi (well I'm sure they could find someone but wouldn't let them on).
