Murray Rothbard literally treated the use of "Libertarianism" to describe Classical Liberals as an act of stealing the word from Leftists; do take note that he wasn't a Leftist himself, and celebrated this notion in his own writings.
News flash: just as right-wing """Libertarians""" aren't Libertarians, """""Anarcho"""""-Capitalists sure as shit aren't Anarchists.
I am dealing with it - by calling it out for the bullshit that it is.
Indeed, we've stolen a word in order to make up for the fact that right-libertarianism is distinct from classical liberalism (we are far more resistant to the state) and contemporary liberalism (which fully embraces the state).
And, of course, you don't bother seeing the irony in your own ideology - that falsely claims to be """Libertarian""" - being defined by a contradiction.
