Is anarcho-capitalism real anarchism?
in Politics

Let me preface by saying I'm not attacking the merits of the belief; I do not like centralized government either and I still support capitalism. However, anarchism means "without rulers," but capitalists believe in private property rights, meaning if you have your own land, you can make your own rules on it, therefore you are a ruler. So instead of supporting a big central government, ancaps support very decentralized governments. They are anti-statists, but that is not the exact opposite of anarchy. Instead of anarcho-capitalism, it just seems like capitalism in its purest form.
