What is Anarcho Capitalism?
Anarcho/Anarchism/Anarchy come from the Greek word anarkhia which means “without rulers”.
Anarchy is NOT the jungle ethic, the jungle ethic means whoever is the strongest most powerful is the ruler, but anarchy means without rulers so anarchism couldn’t possibly mean the jungle ethic because it’s a contradiction. Anarchism is also not having no laws, it's impossible to have no laws. It means that laws are inherit in nature, they are natural.
Capitalism(non-state market) is an economic system of voluntary trade(opposed to Socialism(state market) which is a system of coercive trade). It prioritizes individual freedom and self interest(Invisible Hand principle by Adam Smith). Capitalism happens naturally when you get to the Natural Order(opposed to the Positive Order) by following Natural Law philosophy(opposed to Positive Law philosophy).
Anarchism has no legal authorities and so individual people have full property/natural rights.
Capitalism gives individual people full property rights and thus there can be no legal authorities.
Socialism takes away individual peoples property rights(seizing the means of production, which includes your body because your body is also a means of production, all private property is) and thus there can only be legal authorities(authoritarians.)
Authoritarianism has only legal authorities so people have no property rights.
The anarchy implies the capitalism and the capitalism implies the anarchy.
The authoritarianism implies the socialism and the socialism implies the authoritarianism
This is why state capitalism is an oxymoron, you cannot have a state non-state market.
This is also why anarcho socialism is an oxymoron, you cannot have a non-state, state market.
The political spectrum is only one long line, left is authoritarian socialism and the right anarcho capitalism.
Democracy is the worst form authoritarianism because it is 51%+ violating the natural rights of the 49%.
Oligarchy is the second worst form authoritarianism because its is a small group violating peoples natural rights.
Monarchy is the third worst form authoritarianism because it is a sole individual violating peoples natural rights.
When 1 person bullies 99 people it is not as bad because the 99 can fight back. When 51+ people bully 49 people its worse because it is harder to fight back.
All governments are authoritarian. Their very existence violates our natural rights, natural Law and thus our private property rights.
What is Natural Law? People have inherent fundamental rights that can be discovered through logic and reason. Natural Law is an objective moral standard it was not invented, it was discovered.
Humans have the ability to have critical/complex thoughts and so we are logical and rational creatures. This is what allows us to discover natural law and our natural rights.
We have sole control over our bodies which means our bodies are our privately owned property.
Since we own private property we must have private property rights.
If we own private property then we must have a right to life(not be indiscriminately killed).
If we own private property then we must have a right to liberty, a right to do whatever we want with our property as long as we don’t violate the NAP(others peoples private property rights).
People have the natural right to private property. All our other rights come from it. Some more of the rights that come from private property other than life and liberty are the pursuit of happiness, pursuit of shelter, pursuit of food(you are not entitled to happiness, and you do not have a right to other people’s shelter, food or medicine/healthcare), to name a few.
How to know whether something is a natural right ask yourself does it violate other people’s property rights? If it does then it is NOT a natural right. Taxation is theft. Consent is king.
