The odd thing, the irony, is that in the final analysis I agree with bucky and some anarchists. I started out as an anarchist, and moved on, like most anarchists. Where we disagree is that he thinks it is the means to an end. I think it is an end, and the means have yet to be settled on. Mostly because we are just no at that place in the evolution of political consciousness. I think I'll defer to Chomsky, not Rothbard.
The first known use of a term that has been translated as "libertarian" in a political sense was by anarcho-communist Joseph Déjacque[21], who used the French term libertaire in a letter to Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in 1857.[22] The word stems from the French word libertaire (synonymous to "for liberty"), and was used in order to evade the French ban on liberty publications.
