RE: AnComs, climate activists, and me

Anarchism is about personal responsibility. The market is about respecting the autonomy of others. Perhaps you have misconceptions about the ideas due to your preconceptions about word definitions.
Anarchism is totally about responsibility. Anarcho capitalism is about being a selfish ignoramus, though. Capital creates hierarchy and hierarchy isnt comparable with anarchy

Define your terms. "Capitalism" is used to refer to both free markets of voluntary association and exchange for mutual benefit, which is completely compatible with anarchism; and corporate cronyism and collusion, which are effectively impossible without the government because corporations are legal entities created under government law and these schemes are only feasible through government enforcement and externalizing the costs to the taxpayer. Regulatory capture is only possible with a government monopoly regulator.
Hierarchy is not necessarily antithetical to anarchism either. Teacher/student, master/apprentice, expert/novice, and yes, employer/employee relationships can be voluntary and mutually beneficial without any coercion involved. These concepts are categorically distinct from master/slave and government/governed.
