An oxymoron and an invalid theory. Anarchy is anti-hierarchical, while Capitalism is designed around an economic hierarchy - company owners and company workers as separate classes.
Anarcho-capitalism is invalid for several main reasons:
★ Capital requires a government to issue it and tax it to create demand, and give value to the currency.
★ Anarchy is anti-hierarchy, while capitalism is an economic system designed to sustain a hierarchy.
★ Without government to lower the powers a company has over it’s workers, the companies become the new governments, so to speak. Companies replace the state, therefore “anarcho”-capitalism is not anarchic.

Person 1: I support anarcho-capitalism because I don’t want the government limiting my freedom.
Person 2: Without a government to limit the power of corporations, how do you keep companies from limiting your freedom?
Person 3: Well, we haven’t figured that part out yet.

Get the Anarcho-Capitalism mug.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.

Get the Cumitalism mug.A phrase used by those sick and tired of the current class-divided profit-driven capitalist system, who tend to want socialism / communism instead — but not the old state-run capitalist economies that the Soviet Union, Maoist China etc once had, and which North Korea, Cuba etc still have today.
Putin blames those in control of NATO, America and ‘the West’ for the horrific war in Ukraine, and therefore doesn’t see all the deaths, injuries and destruction as being his fault. Whereas NATO, America and the West do blame Putin and his regime. In reality, all these leaders and their countries’ rival ruling classes and competing economies are to blame. Fuck capitalism!
