The Fake Anarchists and Libertarians describes Anarcho-capitalism: “Most anarchists who have heard this term think it is an oxymoron. The anarchist movement has a tradition dating back over a hundred years of opposition to capitalism. This new concept, “anarcho-capitalism” as it’s called by its proponents, flies in the face of this history. It is probably better described as “libertarian capitalism,” which is similar to extropianism and contemporary party libertarianism in the United States. These are the folks who want to liberate themselves from government, but still want to be YOUR boss.”
In listing “Anarcho-capitalist” Websites, it refers to it as “Fake anarchism from boss-loving rich white boys who have never had to work a sh**ty job in their lives.”
The implicit reasoning: I have a bad job and dislike my boss; therefore, it is morally justifed to steal his property. [Link from Jeremy Sapienza]
