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.

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!
