Ever see self proclaimed "#anarcho #capitalists" supporting the #death penalty? Funny...

I'm happy to have them on the team, but I think we should focus on the meaning, history, and the "how to's" of anarchism.

"Anarcho Capitalism" is redundant. Truthfully, it should only be "anarchism," since #capitalism is the "how to" of #anarchism .

Anarchism explicitly rejects #violence . There's a history of anarchists committing acts of violence, but since that has **always** been against the meaning and doctrine of anarchism, you can be sure that those people were state agents. Their violence was used as an excuse for the state to murder #peaceful anarchists.

Now, you can argue that the anarchists of a century ago were leftists and have little in common with us, but I'd push back on that argument because the #left of a century ago also has little in common with the left of today. Nor does the #right have much in common with its predecessors. The fact is, the current political polarity isn't what it was even twenty years ago, much less a century ago. If you think the right stands for #liberty , I disagree, and would say that the right is only **_currently_** aligned with liberty. It will change, as it always changes, and some people who are here for liberty will fail to notice, and their political energy will be harvested to enslave them - as has always happened. I do think that the left has a history of violence, and have no interest in being affiliated with the left. The real paradigm is the **state vs you,** not red team blue team. The state uses violence ; you don't. To resist the state, you must resist all violence ; otherwise, you are merely LARPing, at best.

Unifying anarchism and capitalism into a single phrase is brilliant. In some senses, its a #unity of opposites. This is only because the state has maligned capitalism to serve its interests. Basically, planned #market interventions equals market failure, and a market failure collapses the gains of wealth creation into power for the state. But recognizing that the state is a force counter to capitalism, we can see that capitalism is, in fact, the method to achieve anarchy. The #dualism and #unity reminds me of how #God is both alpha and omega, #mercy and #justice. The opposites are not really opposites, but from the poles of opposition, meaning arises mutually.

I hope this note inspires more people to write about what anarcho capitalism really is. Hopefully, fewer people will be so confused that they think they can be anarcho capitalists while supporting the death penalty... A true absurdity, that... I'm happy they've chosen the correct social #philosophy , but we need some attention on meaning, purpose, and history.

Stack sats and use nostr - the two easiest and most meaningful ways to move to a true anarcho capitalist #future - a #cypherpunk and #bitcoin future.
