Anarcho-Capitalism

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.

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.
