Anarcho capitalism

The Anarcho capitalism is the result of a mixture of different doctrines or beliefs, economic liberalism and political anarchism . When we talk about political liberalism we must mention that its beginnings took place in the seventeenth century and it has been undergoing changes over time, always focusing on the market economy , trying to stop the controls and the problems and obstacles that it faces, defending the private property and showing that it is impossible to maintain a single body of planningcentral organization that organizes and controls everything from the upper parts of society. Political anarchism originates in the nineteenth century and the most important part is the proposal of social organization as an alternative to the central and monopoly power that monarchies have and that have taken over the modern state .

History of anarcho-capitalism

The anarcocapitalismo emerges for the first time during the second half of the twentieth century in what became known as libertarianism . It took many ideas from the old American individualist anarchism during the 19th century. He based his economic and legal arguments on many different theories, the most important of which were the economic analysis of law or the theory of public choice . The main precursor of this theory is the classical liberal John Locke, who made arguments regarding the way in which people mix their own work with resources without having an owner and then make these resources part of their property. The concept of privatization was enunciated by the Frenchman Jakob Mauvillon during the 18th century.

Characteristics of anarcho-capitalism

• It promotes anarchy or the elimination of the State to achieve protection for the individual.
• They promote the elimination of taxes and the use of money to speed up an open market .
• Personal and economic activities can be regulated by means of a political management law .
• It is based on the right of dominion over oneself and over the goods that are owned, and at the same time prohibits fraud .
• For anarcho-capitalism the only way that property can be fairly acquired is through original labor-based appropriation .

Principles of anarcho-capitalism

This economic and political current takes its ideas from the Austrian school of economics , and from classic American individualist anarchism, discarding its theory of labor-value . Among its main principles we can mention:

• The principle of non-aggression : It can be said that the axiom of non-aggression is a prohibition against violence or the use of violence , against persons (i.e. direct violence, assault, murder) or against property legitimately acquired by them people (i.e. theft, fraud, taxes).
• Private property : The members of the anarcho-capitalist party define property as the right that each person has to property over their own body, while through the principle of original appropriation they establish that each one is the true and sole owner of all the resources that have not been had a previous owner or on whom it has carried out some form of work.
• Law and order : This principle can be offered through private institutions that offer us a security and justice market, as well as some other defense services . All of them compete to have voluntary paying clients who want to hire their services, and since there is competition to produce legal and police services at a better price and with a better quality.

• Medieval Iceland : it could have been created by an economist with the aim of testing the scope of the market system and how they could supplant the government in most of its fundamental functions.
• Early Pennsylvania : The time when Pennsylvania got into a bad situation surrounded by anarchism and how William Penn took it upon himself to fight for almost ten years to get his government reinstated over the people who disagreed has been discussed .
