And to address etymology, since you keep bringing it up despite no claims by me regarding the subject, the word "libertarian" is a simple combination of two pre-existing terms. The term, liberty had an already established meaning, as well as the suffix "-arian", or in French "-aire" (a person who supports, advocates, or practices a doctrine, theory, or set of principles associated with the base word). Hence "advocate of liberty". Using a known suffix with a known word to mean exactly what those pre-existing terms say it should mean hardly constitutes anything significant. Déjacque merely referred to himself an "advocate of liberty" using a pre-existing word and suffix with already well established meanings. ] (]) 03:39, 15 December 2013 (UTC) | ||
