Anarcho, yes, Capitalist, no.

Here's the definition of Capital:

Wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value.

And here is the definition of Capitalism:

An economic system based on private ownership of capital

So a capitalist is someone who controls capital through ownership. Excuse me, but that sort of aggression impinges on my freedom.

Humans are certainly not resources, and even resources are not resources to be exploited. All that stuff is here for me to use. For those of you who believe in basic human rights, that's the primary right. Nobody has a right to control what I need to survive, especially for profit.

In that sense Anarcho-Capitalism is an oxymoron.
