Please do not refer to anarcho-capitalism as an anarchist school of thought. Capitalism and anarchism are mutually exclusive.

- llamataboot 13y agoThis is really a debate to have elsewhere - not in a hacker news comment thread. Libertarian socialists, which is most schools of anarchist thought, don't see anarcho-capitalism as a strain of anarchism, but there is certainly a long history of individualist strains of anarchism that anarcho-capitalism draws on and anarcho-capitalists certainly consider themselves anarchist. And I say this as an anarcho-communist who disagrees with the economic theories of anarchy capitalists but am well schooled in anarchist theory - traditional and contemporary.
- mindcrime 13y agoSorry, but this really isn't the place for this argument. We disagree, that's all I'll say.
