You are confusing classical capitalism like Smith with modern libertarianism. They have similar intellectual roots, but obviously Smith predates modern libertarianism. He would also be considered less than socially libertarian by some modern standards. Yes, Smith would be considered right wing by modern standards, but where do you put Gary "carbon taxes are compliant with the NAP" (they are not) Johnson?

At that point though, we start moving to a totally new topic regarding when a movement becomes distinct from its predecessors.
