It feels like this page has been co-opted by far-right libertarians. I think it worked better when it focused on the "classical" liberals; i.e. the early definition of the term liberal, with Smith, Mill, etc. rather than trying to fit it too much into modern thought (trying to make it into Austro-Libertarian or the like, which developed much later). | It feels like this page has been co-opted by far-right libertarians.

It feels like this page has been co-opted by far-right libertarians. I think it worked better when it focused on the "classical" liberals; i.e. the early definition of the term liberal, with Smith, Mill, etc. rather than trying to fit it too much into modern thought (trying to make it into Austro-Libertarian or the like, which developed much later). UPDATE: I've now rewritten mist of it and added substantially to the history section. /Gustavus-Nicolaus
