Anarcho-capitalism

Not a real thing. Anarchism is opposition to the state and also opposition to hierarchies, but so called "anarcho-capitalism" promotes hierarchies, therefore is not anarchism.
I wish so called anarcho-capitalists would admit that anarcho-capitalism isn't real anarchism.

Anarcho-capitalism

Fringe, right-wing ideology of property rights, contract theory, and anti-democracy. While it uses the prefix "anarcho-" it is not accepted by other anarchist ideologies (which are far left) as valid. The only similarity is that anarcho-capitalism is against the state. However, only that is not true for all anarcho-capitalists, as some argue that the state would be allowed if it was created via contracts - as it would be anything that would not violate property rights.

Making this ideology more similar to other market fundamentalist ideologies - such as right libertarianism, neoliberalism, and minarchism.
This is anarcho-capitalism. A society where people can do anything they want even if the circumstance this system creates for them, makes them sell themselves to slavery. True freedom!

Anarcho Capitalism

An elite unrealistic philosophy theorized by rich white males who live in big McMansions in the suburbs or rural areas. A philosophy that the individual is the ultimate sovereign and all rights come from him. All public services are criminal and should be abolished and privatised, not just highways and schools but also the Courts. If you do not believe in Anarco Capitalism, you will be labeled a "statist". All forms of government from police to the courts are socialist and should be privatised. All of the Founding Fathers were socialist, your local city councilor, firefighter, your sidewalk and anyone who works for the government is a socialist. The police and courts should be done away with and replaced by Private Defense Agencies even though these defense agencies will resemble Kellog Brown and Root, Haliburton and Blackwater USA and will turn into roving death squads similar to those in Iraq and South America when the war breaks out over who gets to use the sidewalk. Once the war over who gets to use the sidewalk is complete and one defense agency remains after executing its competitors and unwilling customers, anarcho capitalism will give way anarcho fascism.
1. Anarcho capitalist to wife: "Honey I am going to the convienence store to buy some defense and court system"

wife: "Pick up some eggs while your there"

2. Just as there are no atheist in fox holes, you don't believe in anarcho capitalism while your house is burning down and (there is no more fire department) with your wife and kids inside while they are being simultaneously raped by local prisioners who broke out of prison because is privatised.

Anarcho Capitalism

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.

Anarcho Capitalism/Free Market Anarchism

Free market anarchism or Anarcho capitalism is an umbrella term for a number of ideologies which believe that there should be no government, and a free market economic system, as opposed to anarcho socialism, anarcho communism, and anarcho syndicalism which focus on shifting ownership of property, companies etc. to the masses. Anarcho socialist types believe "Property is theft" while anarcho capitalists believe "property is freedom". Anarcho capitalists believe that a free market is the only truly anarchist economic system. The concept was popularized by Murray Rothbard of the Austrian School of Economics.

Anarcho capitalist

A person whose philosophy is based on the idea of individual sovereignty, and a prohibition against theft, coercion and fraud. It sees the only just basis for law as arising from private property norms and an unlimited right of contract between free and sovereign individuals. From this basis, anarcho-capitalism rejects the state as an unjustified monopolist and systematic aggressor against sovereign individuals, and embraces anti-statist laissez-faire capitalism. Anarcho-capitalists would aim to protect individual liberty and property by replacing government monopoly, which is involuntarily funded through theft by taxation, with private, competing businesses that use physical force only in defense of liberty and property against aggressors. Hence, they believe that all goods and services, including law, order, and security, should be supplied through the mechanism of a free market.
Anarcho capitalists know that when you keep all of what you produce, you have an incentive to produce more, thus the whole of society benefits greatly from each individuals inherent greed.
