Anarchisim is a belief that man can live without government and that everyone is capable, with proper education, to realize the errors of his ways; to live like angels on their best behavior with one another. No authority wanted or needed.
Anarcho-capitalist; I Believe that the services government perform in the law, justice and defense sector can be better achieved by the free market like every other good and service you can buy. Man being what he is, there are murders , thiefs' and thugs; there always will be; I simply believe that you do not need a monopoly to deal with these issues, as a monopoly in law, justice and protection will grow to attack those institutions of civilization and thus attack the very people who it claims to defend ( happening as we speak).
Anarchy is defined as the absence of the State. Anarchy is such a loaded term because it has contradicting definitions. I find if you define your terms beforehand it helps to alleviate confusion. Yes, we are anarchists. Yes, we are Laissez-Faire Market radicals. Yes, we are Natural Law logical conclusionists.
It's just funny that Thomas Woods is so beloved around here, when he is an unabashed ANARCHO-CAPITALIST. Good lord you hypocrits.
