Re the reference to YAF, I was referring to (1) some of the more extreme libertarians, who tended to be anarcho-capitalists of the Murray Rothbard stripe, moving to alliances or at least discussions with the New Left regarding opposition to the Vietnam War and the military industrial complex and (2) the rise of a group, which I think was called the National Youth Organization, by some self-styled traditionalists who had been active in the Youth for Wallace campaign. This movement was bankrolled by Willis Carto. In the 1960s and early 1970s, YAF was more an umbrella group for a wide range of non-liberals than any other organization on the Right. Ultimately, people with as disparate "patron saints" as Murray Rothbard, Ayn Rand, Bill Buckley, Gary Allen, and Francis Yockey could not stick together forever.

(Benedict Arnold was a hero for both sides in the same war, too!)
