Is the term Libertarian "stolen"?

        I've mostly came across random posts saying that the term libertarian was originally a socialist term, but the libertarian party took it and redefined it as a propaganda move. How true is this?

The French term *libertaire*, as used by anarchist communist Joseph Déjacque, is generally recognized as the first use of “libertarian” in the political sense—entering English first among anarchists as well. Constructions like “libertarian socialist” (anarchist), as opposed to “authoritarian socialist” (state socialist, marxist) predate the voluntaryist, free-market uses that are now also familiar. Like all of these histories, the story has some additional twists and turns, particularly as terms like “socialist” have their own complex histories, but, generally, it is safe to say that the term arose among figures we would now consider socialist.
