2025 is shaping up to be a fun time. The Libertarians, Free Marketers and Ancaps. Versus various flavors of people who are explicitly Nationalists going at it right at the end of the year.
Anarcho-capitalism (colloquially: ancap or an-cap) is a political philosophy and economic theory according to which all government institutions can and should be replaced by private ones.[2] Anarcho-capitalists hold that society tends to contractually self-regulate and civilize through the voluntary exchange of goods and services. This would ideally result in a voluntary society[3][4][5][6] based on concepts such as the non-aggression principle, free markets and self-ownership. In such a society, private property rights would be enforced by private agencies. In the absence of statute private defence agencies and/or insurance companies would operate competitively in a market and fulfill the roles of courts and the police, similar to a state apparatus. Some anarcho-capitalist philosophies understand control of private property as part of the self, and some permit control of other people as private property.[7][8]
There’s a lot of overlap between all 3 ideologies. With the more extreme ends of Libertarians, and Free Marketers. Essentially being Ancaps who don’t want the negative connotations associated with the term.
The Libertarians seem to have damaged their brand by going too hard on marijuana de-criminalization. Now it seems like their brand is "Weed Dufuses". Sad.

Had to look up "Ancaps"... per wiki...

Congrats on learning something.
