Once there was a confusion about what “liberal” really means, so some people decided to call themselves libertarians instead. Now there is a confusion about what “libertarian” really means.
Seems to me we have some kind of ideology-name treadmill here, which works like this:
start a political movement
become popular
many people will use the name of your movement, even if they disagree with a few (or later: many) points
at some moment those people will complain that you want the definition to include you, when you are obviously merely a fringe member of this movement
