Don't even bother reading the article, it's just ad hominen guilt by association. Read the comment section.

Oh dear god, I never thought I would see the day when Anarca caps look like the smarter ones.

I don't get it? Ancaps and the Patriot movement are pretty fucking dumb.

Strange how anarcho-capitalism is so popular in the USA. Of all anarchists I know (in person) none of them is anarcho-capitalist, in fact all of them are anarcho-communists.

"Ancaps" aren't Anarchists, "Anarchist" isn't an umbrella terms (if this is what you are implying). Anarchists are anti-state, anti-money, and advocate for the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism. Ancaps are simply another petty-bourgeois reaction to decaying imperialism. The two have nothing in common.

And how does that explain the fact that there is no anarcho-capitalist movement in my country?

I don't want to read all that just to find whatever parts you're referring to. Could you post some excerpts?

What do you mean? It isn't meant to explain anything other than established facts. There is no Ancap movement in your country because they do not have the necessary social-foothold; many ideologies are reactions to various stages of bourgeois decay but these ideologies still have to compete against one another for members.

Bourgeois cultural hegemony is so deep in the USA that it even infects anarchism and subverts it.

Yea, the patriot movement deserves this, but come'on, the ancaps aren't that stupid, they're just privileged white people who don't understand how the real world works because they never have to leave their houses.

Ehh, I kind of agree with Noxion, so what? They're both rotten, fuck them both. In fact, an-caps annoy me more (the Tea Party/Fox News types mostly depress me instead) because they make it harder/more muddled for me to explain anarchism to Americans.

Plus, to a certain degree, it's quite right after all: "anarcho-caps," (or NAP-loving voluntaryists, I guess they call themselves now) libertarians, free-market types sit to the right just like the "patriot" (?, Tea Party) movement and despite whatever difference they have ideologically both have certain similarities (pro-capitalist agenda) in practice and even perspective (i.e. Obama is a Marxist Socialist Muslim whatever :rolleyes:).

So, completely unlike the Tea Party, then?

[bad ideas actualised by alcohol]

I know a person who calls herself an Anarcho-Liberal.
I thought it was strange she used two words meaning the same thing as political tendency.
Then again she also believes 9/11 conspiracy theories, so she isn't even trying to hide her liberalism (or idiocy). Well, on the other hand it is surprising to see a liberal who actually takes a stance on something, even though idiotic and based on lies.
Anarcho-Caps, are really sad though and impossible to even argue with.

There base is largely petit bourgeois, lower class whites who hold on to their racial privilege because it is the only thing preventing them from getting swallowed by capitalism, and upper class white people. Plus a load of dumb fucks.

So not really, most of the tea party movement is members of the lower middle class that is simply grasping for their last breath as their racial privilege is being eroded by the crisis of capitalism. While Ana-Caps are just pissed off teenagers that are angry that their parents did buy them a new ipod

It is not "so popular in the USA" pardner. There is no "anarcho-capitalist movement". You will search in vain for any evidence of real-world anarcho-capitalist activity...you won't find anarcho-capitalist infoshops, anarcho-capitalist party offices, anarcho-capitalist literature (unless you look really hard or go online) or even anarcho-capitalist graffitti.

Let's just get that straight.
