There's a really good book that covers all this and more (infidelity, suicide, etc) and how we are still limited as to freedom to choose things that affect only ourselves. It's called Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do and up until very recently you could legally find the whole text online. You probably still can if you hunt around but even still you can get it on Amazon cheap ($9.99).

Yeah, if you read the history, it was a lot about suppressing brown people. I like this book.

Suggested reading for anyone who else who also agrees with this point:

"Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do" - Peter McWilliams

Yeah I read the wiki link. Did you? Not only does the top summary avoid stating that it is only a strain within socialism ("e.g." does not mean the same thing as "i.e.", pro-tip, and "left-wing" in the US does not mean "Socialist") but they link this group in "see also":

who are Democratic politicians.

I don't care who invented the term "libertarian" since I am talking about the US libertarian movement in the 1990s.

You are trying to shift a conversation about how American citizens see themselves and others in the political spectrum to a discussion of word usage among academic political theorists.

You like academic theory so try this 1975 publication on for size. Seminal work in what later became known as "left libertarian" thought, which is less an appropriation directly from socialist terminology and more a statement of affiliation with libertarian ideas about "victimless crimes" while repudiating libertarian ideas about taxes, property, race, etc.
