Anarcho-Crapitalism is a real thing!
That thing is an oxymoron.
Moron is the operant term when dealing with one of these.
They claim to be all gung-ho about anarchism, a real true belieber, but they haven't done the barest reading on the subject.
Perhaps they've only read the latest publications, who knows?
The facts are that anarchism has always been a response in defiance of crapitalism.
That is just a fact.
Just as you wouldn't want to have your bridge built by somebody that had never read an engineering textbook, why would you accept as authoritative a viewpoint from someone that so clearly contradicts the foundational documents of the philosophy?
Section F of the Anarchist FAQs, in part:
Section F: Is an anarcho-capitalism a type of anarchism?
F.1 Are anarcho-capitalists really anarchists?
F.2 What do anarcho-capitalists mean by freedom?
F.2.1 How does private property affect freedom?
F.2.2 Do libertarian-capitalists support slavery?

This appendix exists for one reason, namely to explain why the idea of anarcho-capitalism is a bogus one.
While we have covered this topic in section F, we thought that this appendix should be created in order to discuss in more detail why anarchists reject both anarcho-capitalism and its claims to being anarchist.

Section A: What is Anarchism?
A.1 What is anarchism?
A1.1 What does anarchy mean?
A.1.2 What does anarchism mean?
A.1.3 Why is anarchism also called libertarian socialism?
A.1.4 Are anarchists socialists?
A.1.5 Where does anarchism come from?
These two excerpts are a miniscule amount of the totality of anarchist writings.
Unless you do this tiny amount of reading you may want to not call yourself an anarchist, you may disagree with the positions expressed by these authors.
Anything written after 1935 is suspect, imo, because of the influence of crapitalism on what got printed after that point in time.
For sure anything after 1950.
The Unknown Revolution, by Voline
We have been struggling to bring anarchism to the masses since PJ wrote his book, What is Property, in 1840.
Debate is still raging today over this and that, but the philosophy was pretty well definitively delineated with this work by Alexander Berkman published in 1929: Now and After, The ABCs of Communist Anarchism, or What is Communist Anarchism?
These are the books that define the terms in their original meanings, written by the modern originators of the terms.
Please stop bastardizing our terms, people have given their lives in pursuit of living up to their ideals.
You can do as you please, but the facts are the facts.
Stop referring to yourself as an 'Anarchist' unless you have read, and find affinity with, the ideas as expressed in their modern versions.
You are hampering the struggle for freedom with your cherry picking obstinance.
Find a new word.
'Anarcho-Crapitalism' is a thing, and that thing is an oxymoron.
For those of you that prefer to let others do your thinking for you, you can go back to your flashylight box safe in the knowledge that there are some of us out here keeping the world safe for anarchism by exposing the truth so you can see the shills.
God thanks for this, amazing
