It's an anarchist viewpoint too, when you think about it.


Anarcho-capitalists maybe.

The anarchist movement branched out from socialism and tends to be much more humanist than that.


It's interesting how you can recognize an Anarcho-Capitalist viewpoint when you see one, but can't recognize that being an AnCap basically just boils down to being moral, sane, rational and consistent.

Most self-proclaimed "Anarchists" I come across are actually something like Marxists, nonsensically railing against evil capitalist oppressors, without wanting to even discuss what capitalism means.

I went to one of their gatherings once, and out of around twenty people, only one seemed rational and open-minded.

The rest were intent on figuring out what kind of "activism" they'd engage in, and didn't want to discuss whether what they were doing actually made any fucking sense at all.
