Anarcho-Capitalism is redundent in using the term "capitalism". With anarchy there is no government...hence no restrictions on capitalism. It's like saying Libertarian who loves freedom, or intelligent genius.
Anarcho-Capitalism promotes a stateless society, where people are unprotected from buying things they might actually want. Anarcho-Capitalism allows employers to pay employees whatever they want...but what's worse is it allows employees to actually accept any wage they want.

Otherwise known as free market anarchism. The only political philosophy that offers true freedom in all respects - Both politically, and economically. It entails a lack of formal government combined with a completely free market.

A misleading and oxymoronical term contrived by manipulative lassaiz-faire capitalists to draw uninformed, young, and rebellious youth into their ideology by applying the word "anarcho" to it.
Just because anarchism is actually about opposing ALL systems of hierarchy, it doesn't stop me from trying to use the word anarcho-capitalism to make me look hip and rebellious!

Anarcho-capitalism is just capitalism without any regulations. Basically, if we lived in such a system, it would be 10 times worse than what we have now.

A pseudo-ideology that attempts to meld an economic policy that requires a government to properly function with a governmental policy that can only be sustainable through a collectivist economy, and by any reasonable thought experiment would produce something neither anarchic nor capitalist but more resembling a dystopian, Stalin-esque society.
Claims to be anti-authoritarian, but when they support politicians, these politicians are uniformly authoritarian.
Also claim to be anti-collectivist, but dare criticize their cult-like philosophy and thousands will swarm on you like the goddamn Borg.

"Just found a mod that lets you establish Anarcho-Capitalism in Civ" "Oh yeah, what happens?" "It becomes a dictatorship in your next turn." "Wait, in Quick?" "No, Marathon." "Sounds about right."

An idea so absurdly contradictory that, if ever implemented, would result in the decimation of any rights you ever had and ultimately devolve back into feudalism. Would also incinerate the planet faster than capitalism ever could.

A political ideology falling in the bottom right corner of the political compass. It is centered around corporate freedoms and (presumed) meritocracy. Its tenets are that capitalism cannot function with state regulation, taxation is theft and tyranny, and that every man should fend for himself and not interfere with others' status.
AnCaps are often very conservative socially (i.e. "trans women are not women", "homosexuality is immoral", "stop the SJW's", etc.) due to their connection with Libertarianism and American nationalism.
Anarcho-capitalism has never been put in place in modern society.
(I do not agree with Anarcho-Capitalism myself, just making a definition.)
