| This was a result of Rothbard and Rockwell's "redneck outreach." So no Rothbard never identified as paleo-libertarian (though Lew did). This was during the late 80s and early 90s when libertarians were desperate to hop on the populist train along with paleo-conservatives. Lew wrote this article: http://www.pericles.press/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Liberty_Magazine.pdf You will not see this article hosted on Mises.org. You will see this, however, on Mises.org : https://mises.org/library/samuel-edward-konkin-iii Both Rothbard and Lew renounced the term before Rothbard's death as a result of their dissatisfaction with Pat Buchanan. From a 2007 interview: "There are other options, such as the term I once used, "paleolibertarian," which refers to libertarianism before the movement emerged to institutionalize it as an ideological wing of the state's political apparatus. This term was designed to address a very serious problem that libertarians in Washington had come to see themselves as a pleading pressure group hoping to find "market-based" solutions to public policy problems but within public policy, and thus do they support school vouchers, limited wars, managed trade, forced savings as an alternative to social security, and the like. Unfortunately, the term paleolibertarian became confused because of its association with paleoconservative, so it came to mean some sort of socially conservative libertarian, which wasn't the point at all — though the attempted definition of libertarian as necessarily socially leftist is a problem too."
