A redundant phrase. The anarchist movement has always had socialist tendencies, beginning with Proudhon ("Property is theft") to the modern era. Even the most "capitalistic" - the individualist anarchists of 19th century America - rejected capitalism as a system of state-granted privileges to wealthy land-owners.
The "anarcho"-capitalists of Murray Rothbard and the like stem more directly from the classical liberal tradition than any movement that represents the anarchist tradition. While Rothbard did take influence from the Boston Individualist Anarchists, he had essentially flipped the entire doctrine on its head, transforming it into apologetics for the status quo economy.

"an"cap: hey, anarcho socialist! let's smash the state together! anarcho socialism and anarcho capitalism can coexist! anarchism with adjectives!

Get the anarcho socialism mug.Anarcho-communism is one of many leftist philosophies that grew out of the USSR's collapse. Anarcho-Communists claim to be against government as well as capitalism. The ideology is contradictory in that it portends to be against authority and force, despite the fact that you need authority and force to limit capitalism. Noam Chomsky, a lingistics professor at MIT is one of a several modern leaders of the movement, and he too perpetuates the ideology's contradictions by being for increased government to stop corporations. To be brief, an anarcho-communist makes as much sense as it's name...none. A follower of anarcho-communism is often called an "oxymoron" or simply "moron" for short.
"Colombia's paramilitaries killed workers who tried to join a union. It's not the government's fault...it's Coca Cola's fault." "About 30 million people died under Stalin's authoritarian communist government. It's not Communism's fault...it's capitalism's fault for making Stalin work so hard that he killed people. The solution? Just take away the word 'authoritarian'" "Government is evil...but we need it to protect the environment, provide healthcare, education, jobs, food, and protect people from capitalists who want to sell us things we might want to buy" "Anarcho-communism isn't contradictory...you are contradictory!"

Get the anarcho-syndicalism mug.Shortened as AnCap. One put it to me as “the final conclusion of natural rights.” Anarcho Capitalists believe that Natural Rights (life, liberty, and property) should be observed in every sense of the word. They view the state as an institution of theft, due to their main source of income being the forceful removal of money. They despise the idea of a central government, in any capacity. Being democratic or authoritarian. They see authoritarianism as the embodiment of the much hated “state,” and democracy as a sham. Democracy in their view being a couple of mobs who tell the government to “steal” from x,y, or z.
Their proposed solution is the abolition of the state, and the use of a totally free market to replace the state in every function. From roads, to private law, and even military. They claim that the services who take their place have historically proven to be cheaper and better preforming due to competition, and will get better at the current rate of development.
Anarcho Capitalism is the most radical sector of libertarianism and the right. Don’t call them alt right, they hate being called alt right. They also never say they’re an anarchist outside of the echo chambers, unless you put two and two together and call them out.

Anarcho capitalism is great and all, but will it ever really be achieved?
Not in our life times, but maybe in 200 years of continued struggle.

Get the Anarcho Capitalism mug.An ultra-leftist, largely in the United States and Europe, who uses supposed "socialist" arguments to support what are objectively right-wing, pro-imperialist positions.
Anarcho-neocons portray Western government regime-change efforts as progressive revolutions, while smearing anti-imperialists and anti-war activists -- who think, 'Hey, maybe we shouldn't destroy countries in the Global South' -- as "tankies," "Assadists," and "Stalinists."
Anarcho-neocons agree with old-fashioned neoconservatives that imperialism will bring "authoritarian" countries "democracy."
Anarcho-neocons are always leftier than thou; no existing leftist government will ever be good enough for them. But contras armed and trained by the CIA to disembowel and crucify Third World nationalists are so rad!

C'mon, don't be ridiculous, everyone knows Molly Crabapple, Shane Bauer, and Charles Davis are not leftists; they're anarcho-neocons who think CIA-backed fascist contras are revolutionaries!

Get the anarcho-neocon mug.The proffering that a line can only be discrete, countable (infinite), and therefore straight (convergent) if it has a center.
An anarcho-limitation reflects itself through a point reflection to become its own center (meta-center); thereby creating uncountable space.
An anarcho-limitation reflects itself through a point reflection to become its own center (meta-center); thereby creating uncountable space.
Anarcho-limitism proposes a deep link between discreteness and straightness (convergence) that creates uncountability.
Anarcho-limitism proffers that discreteness and convergence reflect themselves through a point-reflection to create a "self" -center.
Uncountability is--tautologically--space, thus a line's center creates uncountable space.
A line with no center is a wave and heaven contains straight-waves (lines with no centers).
A point reflection forms because a line is trying minimize its area.
Thus convergence is neither a function of direction or space.
Straightness is thus revealed to be an AREA.
