Murray Rothbard is the guy whose name lives in the bio of every Twitter libertarian who's never read him — the Austrian School radicalized into "anarcho"-capitalism, i.e., feudalism with a branding budget.

In Haz's usage

Rothbard shows up as a marker for the online-libertarian type Haz distinguishes from real libertarians:

> "I don't mean some anime profile picture on Twitter talking about Rothbard... I mean people who believe in the Second Amendment, targeted by the FBI throughout the 1990s, blamed for Oklahoma City" (Kanye's CHALLENGE to MAGA and Trump stream).

In debate, when an opponent appeals to "modern economists — Mises, Rothbard," Haz corrects the taxonomy: the Austrians aren't "modern" by anyone's classification, and their "debunking" of the labor theory of value only works inside frameworks built after Marx specifically to avoid him (Victory is ours stream).

The lived tradition Haz respects — militia, homestead, anti-federal-surveillance — is worth organizing; the Rothbard fan club is not (Hans Hermann-Hoppe, Ludwig von Mises).
