1: What is anarcho-capitalism?

This is a form of society in which there is no single, monopolized, use of force and law making. In essence, each person is a government unto themselves, their kingdoms are their property. Only under such a system can people achieve any sort of equality in that each person has equal power but their power cannot be put upon others except those who agree to it.

2. Why should one consider anarcho-capitalism?

Anarcho-capitalism is the maximum amount of freedom possible. If you wish to be free to do as you please, so long as you do not harms others, and keep the fruits of your labor, then you are an anarcho-capitalist.

3. Do anarcho-capitalists favor chaos?

No. Chaos is not conducive to freedom. An anarcho-capitalistic society would not produce chaos, but instead would produce mass peace because during peace people are able to better their lives. Only governments seek to wage mass scale wars using some bogus excuse. It is the divide of nationalism that governments create that cause wars.

4. Isn't anarcho-capitalism utopian?

Depends on your definition of a perfect world. For me, yes it is utopian, but it is a possible utopia because it does not garuntee paradise for everyone. It does, however, garuntee that people who do something good will be rewarded and those who do not will be punished. Each person must survive on their own merits, charity aside.

5. Isn't laissez-faire capitalism exploitative?

Hardly. Business can only exploit the worker and the consumer with the aid of government to keep competition at bay.

6. What justifications are there for anarcho-capitalism?

It grants the most freedom to everyone. It treats everyone as equals. It creates incentives to work hard and do good and punishes laziness and doing evil.

7. Are anarcho-capitalists anti-war?

Very much so. War is an aberration that is caused by governments, the other aberation.


10. Why don't you just leave?

And go where?

11. Are there different types of anarcho-capitalism?

Not that I know of. It's hard to have different variations of absolute freedom for all.

12. How do anarcho-capitalists compare with other anarchists?


13. Is anarcho-capitalism the same thing as libertarianism?

It is the logical conclusion of it.

14. Who are the major anarcho-capitalist thinkers?

Murray Rothbard comes to mind.

15. How would anarcho-capitalism work?

Each person can do whatever they like, so long as they do not take or harm anything that does not belong to them or anyone else, unless they have permission to do so from the various people and owners.

16. How would anarcho-capitalists handle the "public goods" problem?

There is no such thing as public property or public goods in an anarcho-capitalistic society.

17. Have there been any anarcho-capitalist societies?

Not that I am aware of.

18. How might an anarcho-capitalist society be achieved?

Take the communist manifesto and reverse everything is a good start. And then make taxation voluntary and allow private police and courts.

19. What are some major anarcho-capitalist writings?

Anything by Murray Rothbard is a good start.

20. Where can I find anarcho-capitalist web sites?

[Conza88]

Haha... I know the answers... there in the link; click the blue FAQ text.

Just thought I'd share... and if you knew that, then thanks for sharing yourself

[Josh_LA]

anarcho-capitalism is just anarchism for spoiled kids unwilling to share.

people who think there should be no government or force EVER (*unless it is to protect their property and life).

[sailor]

anarcho-capitalism is just anarchism for spoiled kids unwilling to share.

As opposed to spoilt kids willing to share?

[Josh_LA]

As opposed to spoilt kids willing to share?

no, as opposed to people who only recognize property for what a person's fought for.

My view of anarchism (or rather, my ideal world) is that a person has no rights, and nobody has to respect any life, liberty or happiness of another, you're only entitlement of rights and comfort is what you can defend (so yes, might is right and survival of fittest).

[The_Orlonater]

I don't think I'm welcome here, I believe in "Socialist roads, schools, and public transportation."

[nate895]

I don't think I'm welcome here, I believe in "Socialist roads, schools, and public transportation."

I believe in government maintained roads as well. The other two you mentioned I believe can be privatized over the course of time. The reason I believe in government maintained roads is that private roads everywhere would require you to pay to leave the comfort of your property. That might be respecting the property rights of the person who owns the roads, but I maintain I have more freedom if I do not need to pay to leave my own property.

[UnReconstructed]

The best website for anything ANCAP: http://mises.org/

[JosephTheLibertarian]

I'm in the middle of http://mises.org/story/1970

The Nature of man and his government.

Are there any ancap organizations? All of the anarchist organizations I see are socialist.

[mediahasyou]

I consider myself mostly a voluntaryist.

People should set up their own "voluntary" governments. A true social contract.

[UnReconstructed]

I don't know of any ancap organizations other than mises and I would consider the FSP somewhat ancap. I know that a lot of those folks are playing politico but there are a lot of anarcho-capitalists there.

If you find something or anything that favors ancap let me know.

Yeah, only idiots like Ian think all land should be privately own, so you can't step outside your house without paying toll.

Agreed. http://ivorypower.com/blog/?p=5869

[noxagol]

Then I guess I'm an idiot, along with Lew Rockwell, Murray Rothbard, and a slew of other very smart people as well.

[sailor]

I can only assume you haven`t gonne to one?

[Josh_LA]

Then I guess I'm an idiot, along with Lew Rockwell, Murray Rothbard, and a slew of other very smart people as well.

So you believe people can only be allowed to roam within their own home, and an inch outside of it warrants toll and fee?

Let's start building some prison cells!

[Josh_LA]

I can only assume you haven`t gonne to one?

No, I've been to them.

They're better than nothing.

[The_Orlonater]

I believe in socialized public transportation on a community level, strongly.

Schools, I think we should encourage more private schools too. I wouldn't make public schools abolished.

Not all public schools are bad. I think parents and teachers should control the schools, not beaurocrats.

[sailor]

Public schools are great places to meet interesting new people and make friends for life. But so are public prisons.

I agree to some extent. The only problem is that it forces people who put their children through private school, and those with no children, to pay for schools that they will not use. If someone cannot afford school, if we had a stable currency and little taxation, there should be enough private charitable money to finance the child's education.

Well, I do agree that people who don't have kids or send kids to public schools shouldn't pay into it.

[The_Orlonater]

Public schools are great places to meet interesting new people and make friends for life. But so are public prisons.

Most kids are the same everywhere.

[nate895]

Most kids are the same everywhere.

There aren't the same between California and Washington, believe me.

[noxagol]

So you believe people can only be allowed to roam within their own home, and an inch outside of it warrants toll and fee?

Let's start building some prison cells!

You already pay a toll to walk off your property, and you can't even negotiate it. You can't even choose to not pay it, because if you do, men with guns come and take you away and sell your stuff to get their money.

You also assume that everyone is going to charge you to enter their property. I very well see a road owned by walmart free to travel on, or a road paid for by advertisements along side it, free to travel on. You don't truly explore the possibilities and cling to your government like a child clings to his mother, too afraid to live on your own merit.

[nate895]

You already pay a toll to walk off your property, and you can't even negotiate it. You can't even choose to not pay it, because if you do, men with guns come and take you away and sell your stuff to get their money.

It would still be less cost if we had an efficient government since the government wouldn't be out to make a profit, whereas private interests are. You are paying maintenance and construction with the government, whereas you are paying that plus the owner's profit with it private.

Bwhahaha, you think the government wouldn't extort you? Have you been asleep your whole life? The government has zero incentive to do anything right and all the incentive to do everything wrong because it can convince you it needs more of your money to do it right. You are over paying maintance that occurs to often, you are paying 1 guy to work and 7 to watch him, you are paying for $#@!ty construction that will have to be redone and it is done everyday for 3 weeks making going anywhere on the road hell. A private company would have every incentive to do it right the first time, make sure tey do a damn good job of it, make sure it is done as fast as possible, and make sure they don't have to do it again for as long as possible, because of profit. The government has no idea how much it should cost because it's not paying for it. It cannot engage in economic calculation. It is highly politicized and the roads are placed for political purposes and not to fit the needs of those who would use it.

If people are good, then government is not needed. If people are evil, then government cannot come to exist for it would be filled with evil people.

Most kids are the same everywhere.

All the more reason to stay out of public schools! They are mind-numbing, torturous wastes of time. Just like prison-time!

Not saying private schools are any better, but at least they don`t make a fuss when you cutt classes!
