About This Quote
If you don’t know what an anarcho-capitalist is, you might be surprised to hear it’s not libertarian, and it’s not necessarily anarchist. This is because the word libertarian has become so politically charged that any use of it now carries implications about ideology or specific political beliefs. And those beliefs come from the word “libertarianism.”
