| "My goal is to expose the anarchist philosophy for what it is... a lie." - Travlyr
"You guys have been lying to your recruits for years. Rothbard advocates for minimal government..." - Travlyr
"As far as I'm concerned, and I think the rest of the movement, too, we are anarcho-capitalists. In other words, we believe that capitalism is the fullest expression of anarchism, and anarchism is the fullest expression of capitalism." - Rothbard

| How's dat funny?! :scratch:
====================
Anyway, I always thought 'AnCap' expresses/defines a kind of capitalism.
Genus: Capitalism Differentia: Anarcho (i.e., no government)
So it's just... government-less capitalism.
Analogous to to rational (diff) animal (genus) for humans.

| Of course it's funny: First, some clown misrepresents him and then a quote by Rothbard, completely contradicting him, so yeah, it's for the lulz!
Yeah, your example pretty much flies...
Though for the purists, there can be no real capitalism, under a government... just a mixed economy, socialist, fascist, etc...
Make sense? |

| Yes. It's pathetic how people refer to our current situation as 'free market' and blame that for all the problems. |
