Other words, such as “liberal,” had been originally identified with laissez-faire libertarians, but had been captured by left-wing statists, forcing us in the 1940s to call ourselves rather feebly "true" or "classical" liberals. “Libertarians,” in contrast, had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the communist or syndicalist variety. But now we had taken it over, and more properly from the view of etymology; since we were pro- ponents of individual liberty and therefore of the individual’s right to his property. | cite = [[Murray Rothbard]], "{{Link |The Betrayal of the American Right}} p.83." }}
