Also Rothbard:

"Capitalism is the fullest expression of anarchism, and anarchism is the fullest expression of capitalism. Not only are they compatible, but you can't really have one without the other. True anarchism will be capitalism, and true capitalism will be anarchism"

My point in posting the article that modern anarcho-capitalism traces back not only to classical liberals but also to individualist anarchists. While Rothbard ultimately rejects the label, it is not because it's completely inappropriate, but because it has a negative connotation.

The rejection is an issue of practicality rather than accuracy.

Moreover, the conclusion that full capitalism requires anarchism is not new with Rothbard, but dates back at least to 1849.
