Libertarian Party Member but after the anti intellectual anarchistic takeover of the party at the 2022 convention now identifies as #ClassicalLiberal

F. A. Hayek explains in the foreword of the 1956 American edition of The Road to Serfdom that he uses the term “liberal” in the classical nineteenth century sense and is perplexed how the American left appropriated it for the advocacy of government control.  He finds it regrettable that true liberals must describe themselves as conservative because “Conservatism is not a social program; in its paternalistic,nationalistic, and power adoring tendencies it is often closer to socialism with traditionalist, anti intellectual, and mystical propensities.”

The Libertarian Party was formed in 1972 and took its name as means of expressing the Classical Liberal laissez faire nineteenth century philosophy it stood for.  I am a registered Libertarian Party Member since 1992 but as of the anti intellectual anarchistic takeover of the party at the 2022 convention I can no longer call myself as one and now identify on Twitter as a #ClassicalLiberal.
