no they don’t. anarcho-capitalists are fascists. they don’t want the state gone they just want it minimal and out of the way so they can exploit whoever and whatever they want to build their own empire like a robber baron of ages ago. there is no place for capitalism in anarchy.

ancaps are not anarchists was my whole point bud. and no, the point of anarchy is not ‘do whatever you want even capitalism lol’. anarchy is recognizing that power over others breeds corruption and endeavouring to flatten hierarchies as much as feasibly possible to limit it. anarchy is ‘no ruler’ not ‘no rules lol wheeee’.

In anarcho-capitalism, the person with the most money is indestinguishable from the state, they’re just called something else.

And yes, i did drink paint. Mmm tasty 😋🎨

They think abortion should be restricted by private for-profit entities. If anything, that’s even worse.

They want a state to forbid it if it suits them. You don’t actually believe that they’re anarchists, do you?

No. They’re correct. AnCap is not an anarchic ideology and is just a form of re-branded neo-feudalism. There’s a lot of hand-waving and arguments that intentionally avoid following threads to their logical conclusion.

Capitalism is a mandatorily hierarchical system. It literally revolves around capitalists owning the means of production and leveraging it to extract as much value from workers’ labor as is possible to keep as profit. This makes it incompatible with any form of anarchism.

“AnCap” has nothing to do with anarchism and revolves around elimination of regulatory power, services, and social safety nets of the state, while preserving the state’s ability to use violence to coerce workers into falling in line. State services and social safety nets are then “replaced” by dependence on the goodwill of capitalists voluntarily providing for the less fortunate. The dynamic setup by this can logically only lead to increasingly disparate distribution of wealth and power, with capitalists becoming kings and workers becoming serfs, completely dependent upon their rulers because they have no ability to economically support themselves.

If they were consistent with their beliefs then yeah, but that’s a big if

Ancaps: Government is bad because tyranny, we should get rid of it.

Also Ancaps: Here’s how we can still enforce copyright, abortion bans, and racial segregation without a government! 🥰

I’m pretty sure they don’t exist because anarchy is incompatible with capitalism.

Depends on the ancap. Some are actually progressive capitalists, like the Democrats but on steroids. Others are just nazis that like to jerk off to loli hentai and playing video games, but don’t want the negative association with the authoritarian right, be it your grandpa conservatives or some caricature of nazis (read: a lot of people think nazi equals with people wanting to do evil things for the sake of evil).
