Section G – Is individualist anarchism capitalistic?
Introduction
G.1 Are individualist anarchists anti-capitalist?
G.1.1 What about their support of the free market?
G.1.2 What about their support of "private property"?
G.1.3 What about their support for wage labour?
F.1 Are "anarcho"-capitalists really anarchists?
In a word, no. While "anarcho"-capitalists obviously try to associate themselves with the anarchist tradition by using the word "anarcho" or by calling themselves "anarchists" their ideas are distinctly at odds with those associated with anarchism. As a result, any claims that their ideas are anarchist or that they are part of the anarchist tradition or movement are false.
