    “Libertarian” used to be a synonym for left-wing anarchism until Murray Rothbard purposefully co-opted the term and even bragged about it.

      Fellow left-wing anarchists: should we just give up on trying to reclaim this word? What do you call yourself among people who don’t know the context?

        In Europe it’s way more ambiguous. Also: you can simply specify “left-wing”, or “right-wing” libertarian.

        I usually just say “anarchist”, though ;)
