Libertarianism is a political philosophy that is in short anti-authoritarian. Libertarianism as a political philosophy was initiated by French anarchist DeJacque in the 1850s with his letter to Proudhon and his journal, "The Libertarian". This tradition was developed and enriched by many including Kropotkin, Chomsky, Makhno and many more. Later on in the 1950s, the term became extended to encompass right wing libertarians as well, such as anarcho-capitalists and other deviations, with thinkers such as Rothbard and Mises. There are also modern right libertarians who build off the ideas of classical liberalism developed by Smith and others. Anarchist philosophies that are center left such as mutualism (per Proudhon) is also considered libertarian in nature.
