Libertarianism was indeed first started by the anarcho-communist Joseph Dejacque, who described Proudhon as a "moderate anarchist, liberal, but not libertarian"[1].
But modern US-style libertarianism has one very central difference: Support for private property, which was anathema to Dejacque, who firmly supported Proudhon's infamous "property is robbery".
