    Even Adam Smith wasn’t a full ancap for this very reason. His view of the free market included freedom from the landed gentry.

    It honestly makes it a bit sad because I see some of the older liberal works as made by genuinely decent people who really were bright for their time, but just had aspects of their ideology that aged poorly. I genuinely do not dislike the following people: Thomas Paine (a literal founding father), Adam Smith, and Henry George.

    Yeah, I’m showing off my lib credentials here but inside every comrade is a very disappointed liberal.
