This is something that I've always laughed about, right wing capitalists calling themselves libertarian. The term that they came up with, "anarcho-capitalist", is a hilarious oxymoron. They have even taken to using the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist flags, replacing the red with gold. I'm not making that up. As explained by the OP, to the libertarian the free market is wage slavery, which is directly equivalent to chattel slavery.

I don't have time to read it, but I can imagine the amount of ignorance that is displayed in this thread from those who misuse the term. Page one was bad enough.

First off, I take offense at being labeled "right wing." I am not a right winger, not in the least. I advocate personal freedoms, as well as economic ones. I don't care who you sleep with, what you smoke, or who you pray to.

Secondly, if you understood AnCap, you'd understand that ignorance is the last thing you will find among it's adherents.

Finally, I've yet to see a socialist explain how to get around the whole "you have to work to survive" thing, and I don't expect you to be any different.

Why the hell an anti-capitalist would be attracted to Bitcoin is beyond me.
