“Anarcho-capitalism is a political philosophy and school of anarchist thought that advocates the elimination of the state in favor of self-ownership, private property, and free markets. Anarcho-capitalists hold that, in the absence of statute (law by centralized decrees and legislation), society tends to contractually self-regulate and civilize through the discipline of the free market (in what its proponents describe as a “voluntary society”).[1][2]

In an anarcho-capitalist society, law enforcement, courts, and all other security services would be operated by privately funded competitors retained by private property owners rather than centrally through compulsory taxation. Money, along with all other goods and services, would be privately and competitively provided in an open market. Personal and economic activities under anarcho-capitalism would therefore be regulated by victim-based dispute resolution organizations under tort and contract law, rather than by statute through centrally determined punishment under political monopolies.”

Read all of that carefully. Very little of it would describe what our founding fathers provided us.

Careful what you wish for

Thank you for posting that, but the very first line.

"advocates the elimination of the state..."

Wikis = BS.

And Nifster, not directed at you, but this is exactly what I'm addressing in the article.

Here is Wikipedia - which has become the de facto encyclopedia for the human race - leaving the impression that Mises et al wants the "elimination of the state."
