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.)

Being an assfuck to shitty management and getting fired because you know the business wasn't worth your time in the first place, or being a diehard for a good business because we all know how rare a decent workplace is.

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.

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.

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!
