The concepts of self-ownership and the non-aggression principle largely define anarcho capitalism. Individuals have full control of their lives and can pursue their own goals as long as they do not transgress on other people’s rights. The non-aggression principle makes it clear that individuals cannot encroach on the person or property of any other individual.
The initiation of force against others is categorically rejected under this philosophy’s precepts. This does not only apply between regular individuals but also between the relationship of the individual and state.
The state itself is viewed as a coercive institution that is centered on said aggression through its practice of taxation and monopoly on violence. In addition, state activities such as economic and social regulation, prohibitions, and other forms of government intervention in people’s private affairs are categorically rejected by proponents of this philosophy.
It is my understanding that the basic teaching of anarcho-capitalism is to allow so much freedom that society becomes unmanageable so that we beg for communism.
A collective will always defeat the lone individual.
The white Christians who founded the U.S. were individualists with a strong libertarian bent. But increasingly, the people coming into the U.S. are tribal.
They vote their own people into office, distribute government jobs and benefits to their own people, slant the judicial system to benefit their own people, pressure companies to hire and promote their own people, pressure colleges to admit their own people. They do much of this in the guise of "fighting discrimination and white supremacy."
It's not just one ethnic or religious group doing this. It's most every group other than white Christians. The U.S. is becoming a tribal battleground. In such an environment, the Radical Individualist will be steamrolled over.
its back to the feudal system for us...
It doesn’t make sense to me.
I can’t see it being anything other than a brief transition period to something else.
And when the thugs steal your stuff what ya gonna do?
Mankind is fallen and sinful
Left to their own d vices they will always do evil

And this wonderful, utopian plan falls to dust with the first violation of property rights or other criminal activity.
It disturbs some liberals I know when I describe the government as "force and violence". Those underlie everything else the government does. Nice, friendly welfare program? Watch the violence come out when you refuse to pay for it. Let's order everyone to wear bike helmets for their own good? Well, maybe you'll wish you had that helmet when you refuse and a cop is nightsticking your head to enforce compliance for your safety.
I'm more amazed by the nerve of leftist who want to break glass and set fires to replace the current government with an even more powerful one calling themselves "anarchists". Those anarchists are actually very pro-archists.
