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!

Get the Anarcho-Capitalism mug.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.

Get the anarcho-capitalism mug.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."

Get the Anarcho-Capitalism mug.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.

Get the Anarcho-capitalism mug.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.)

Get the Anarcho-Capitalism 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.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.
