Objectivists have long been bitter that libertarians accept most of Objectivism’s politics–which they crankishly call “capitalism” 1 —without accepting the rest of her philosophy: mainly, its metaphysics (reality), epistemology (reason), and ethics (rational egoism), although most individualist-leaning libertarians more or less do accept these three broad views, along with Objectivism’s “capitalism,” which we less crankishly call libertarianism 2 (a term Rand petulantly rejected, even though Objectivism’s “capitalist” politics is virtualy the same as libertarian minarchism; in fact she is one of the main figures behind the modern libertarian movement). 3
I will later add more: Just to catalogue them. — where Rothbard drew from Ayn Rand but didn’t admit it.

apriori reasoning like rand’s
Block on Israel, Self-Defense, Pacifism: Rothbard writes, in War, Peace, and the State: “if an inhabitant of country A should move to or invest in country B, the libertarian must argue that he thereby takes his chances with the State-monopolist of country B, and it would be immoral and criminal for State A to tax people in country A and kill numerous innocents in country B in order to defend the property of the traveler or investor.8“
My comment there: “This is yet another example of one of Rothbard’s views influenced by Ayn Rand, where he does not cite or give Rand credit. She said, IIRC, in response to some question perhaps, that if an American citizen travels to a despotic regime which then jails or harms him, the US government has no obligation to intervene because the citizen assumed the risk by traveling to such a regime”
