    Ancaps are called Ancaps by Anarchists for that reason, yes, not because “anarcho-” wouldn’t otherwise be indicative of actual anarchism. Anarcho-syndicalism, anarcho-primitivism, the list is endless. Luckily we got spared Anarcho-withoutadjectivesism.

    Either they’re trying to appropriate our good reputation, or they’re just clueless idiots. Or both. Very likely both.

      Or… neither?

      Words have meanings beyond the people that use them, if the meaning is appropiate for representing something, it shall be used.

      Is not like “Phobia” is on many “Phobias” just for the sake of it.

        No, words don’t have meaning to Ancaps or they would never have chosen the “anarcho-” prefix.

          What would have you chosen instead then? Something more precise would be good to know.

            Neofeudalism. Ancaps are people who want their own little fiefdoms just that instead of justifying their rule by the grace of god, they justify it by the “grace” of the unregulated market. Which they, as neolibs generally do, like to equivocate with the free market.
