{{main|Definition of anarchism and libertarianism}}
Although libertarianism originated as a form of [[left-wing politics]],<ref name="Carson"/><ref name="routledge-anarchism"/> the development in the mid-20th century of modern [[libertarianism in the United States]] resulted in libertarianism's being commonly associated with [[right-wing politics]], being coined by [[Edmund Burke]]. It also resulted in several authors and political scientists using two or more categorizations<ref name="Long1"/><ref name="Carlson1"/><ref name=":6" /> to distinguish libertarian views on the nature of property and capital, usually along left–right or socialist–capitalist lines.<ref name="Francis"/> Right-libertarians reject the label due to its association with [[conservatism]] and right-wing politics, calling themselves simply ''libertarians'', while proponents of [[free-market anti-capitalism]] in the United States consciously label themselves as ''left-libertarians'' and see themselves as being part of a broad libertarian left.<ref name="Carson"/><ref name="routledge-anarchism"/>
While the term ''libertarian'' has been largely synonymous with [[anarchism]] as part of the left,<ref name="Marshall">Marshall, Peter (2009).

"For a long time, libertarian was interchangeable in France with anarchism but in recent years, its meaning has become more ambivalent. Some anarchists like Daniel Guérin will call themselves 'libertarian socialists', partly to avoid the negative overtones still associated with anarchism, and partly to stress the place of anarchism within the socialist tradition. Even Marxists of the New Left like E. P. Thompson call themselves 'libertarian' to distinguish themselves from those authoritarian socialists and communists who believe in revolutionary dictatorship and vanguard parties."</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Cohn|first=Jesse|editor-last1=Ness|editor-first1=Immanuel|chapter=Anarchism|title=The International Encyclopedia of Revolution and Protest|url=https://archive.org/details/internationalenc00ness|url-access=limited|date=April 20, 2009|location=Oxford|publisher=John Wiley & Sons, Ltd|page=[https://archive.org/details/internationalenc00ness/page/n163 6]|quote='[L]ibertarianism' [...] a term that, until the mid-twentieth century, was synonymous with "anarchism" per se.|doi=10.1002/9781405198073.wbierp0039|isbn=978-1405198073}}</ref> continuing today as part of the libertarian left in opposition to the moderate left such as [[social democracy]] or [[Authoritarian socialism|authoritarian]] and [[State socialism|statist]] socialism, its meaning has more recently diluted with wider adoption from ideologically disparate groups,<ref name="Marshall"/> including the right.<ref name="Goodway"/><ref name="Marshall p. 565"/> As a term, ''libertarian'' can include both the [[New Left]] Marxists (who do not associate with a [[vanguard party]]) and extreme liberals (primarily concerned with [[civil liberties]]) or [[civil libertarians]].
