A fork of Rural Dictionary
An elite unrealistic philosophy theorized by rich white males who live in big McMansions in the suburbs or rural areas. A philosophy that the individual is the ultimate sovereign and all rights come from him. All public services are criminal and should be abolished and privatised, not just highways and schools but also the Courts. If you do not believe in Anarco Capitalism, you will be labeled a "statist". All forms of government from police to the courts are socialist and should be privatised. All of the Founding Fathers were socialist, your local city councilor, firefighter, your sidewalk and anyone who works for the government is a socialist. The police and courts should be done away with and replaced by Private Defense Agencies even though these defense agencies will resemble Kellog Brown and Root, Haliburton and Blackwater USA and will turn into roving death squads similar to those in Iraq and South America when the war breaks out over who gets to use the sidewalk. Once the war over who gets to use the sidewalk is complete and one defense agency remains after executing its competitors and unwilling customers, anarcho capitalism will give way anarcho fascism.
1. Anarcho capitalist to wife: "Honey I am going to the convienence store to buy some defense and court system" wife: "Pick up some eggs while your there" 2.

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.
Anarchy and capitalism. A person who believes in the dissolution of government, but adheres to property rights.
An individual who believes in anarcho-capitalism would cringe at the thought of watching a Michael Moore documentary.
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.
From 'a' meaning 'without' and 'arch' meaning rulers plus capitalism. In other words capitalism without rulers. Rulers are taken as the state, whilst the term 'capitalism' included is taken to coincide with the liberal definition of capitalism as opposed to the Marxist one. That of freedom only finishing where the freedom of another is curtailed.
Anarcho-capitalism would be like now but without drug prohibition hence without drug gangs; without taxes hence without low wages and economic underperfomance; without the state hence without war.
An oxymoronic take on the Anarchist societal model. By definition, Anarchism is the idea of a stateless society where all people are free and equal. Anarchists oppose societal structures and power structures as a core tenet of their ideology. Capitalism however, is an economic system that has an inherent power and societal structure where the super-wealthy elites rule over everybody else and control the means of production whilst exploiting the labor of workers for their own gain. Because of this, Anarcho-Capitalism is an oxymoron and is, rightfully, the laughing-stock of most Anarchist circles.
Anarcho-Capitalism is hypocritical and an oxymoron.
A system that has one rule: "whoever has the gold, makes the rules, and there are no rules, except making more and money while the rest starve."
The system called anarcho-capitalism dictates that your landlord, demands your money or else you will live in the street.
