Liberalism is now conservative. What people in the US and Canada call liberal isn't. The conservatives are liberals. The "liberals" are neo-marxist/post-modern/post-structuralist/"progressives."

Classical liberalism, yes. That's modern conservatism.
Modern liberalism is marxism and collectivism, which is a direct threat to things like individual rights.

The original libertarians were social anarchists.
So long as we're referring to ourselves as the "classical" usage of political labels :^)

The term conservative is a relatively new label, much like progressives, who adopted that title after marxism and other collectivist systems wiped out millions of people across the globe in the 20th century.

Locke, aka the father of individualism/classical liberalism who formed the modern template of libertarianism, wasn't for the abolishment of the state just the restriction of it to degree necessary for the protection of private property, be it the justice system, police or army.
I concede that the term "libertarian" was co-opted during the Enlightenment by anti-state/monarchy anarchists/communists/proto-socialists/"libertarian socialist' like Dejacque but to say that the roots of the movement or what can be perceived as its start is held in anarchist/communist theory is ignorant at best or disingenuous at worst.

From who? They coined the term. There was no "co-opting".
