You believe in achieving a society where individual freedom is maximized through the elimination of government intervention and the promotion of voluntary exchanges within a free market system.
Anarcho-capitalism is a political philosophy and economic theory that advocates for the elimination of centralized states in favor of self-ownership, private property, and free markets. It is a form of anarchism that applies the principles of capitalism to the framework of a stateless society. Anarcho-capitalists believe that in the absence of statute (law by decree or legislation), society would improve itself through the discipline of the free market (or what its proponents describe as a "voluntary society").
The term "anarcho-capitalism" was coined by economist…

Can a society maintain cultural landmarks and historic sites without government support and if so, how?
@9JD689T2yrs2Y
@Freedom762yrs2Y
Absolutely. History lovers (such as myself) will gladly contribute voluntary donations to private historical societies to preserve our most important historical landmarks. The beauty of privatisation is that force and coercion are removed from the calculation – no one, who wants to spend his money on something else, is being forced through taxation to fund historical sites. It would dramatically expand American freedom, in addition to making these sites *even better* since free-market competition would encourage these organisations to keep their sites clean, trash-free, informative, and enjoyable.

How would you approach education differently if your school was run as a private entity without governmental curriculum?
@9LFNYT22yrs2Y
@9LFPJ3JRepublican2yrs2Y
@Freedom762yrs2Y
All education must be privatised, since taxation is theft, and an act of aggression against innocent people, and because the quality of government schools is horrible and their curriculum statist indoctrination glamorising socialist programs and telling us the horrible things that would surely happen if Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Dan Crenshaw, Joe Biden, and Mitch McConnell didn't rule our lives.

How might decision-making processes in clubs or groups at school change if there was no principal or teacher involved?
@Freedom762yrs2Y
Privatising schools does *not* mean that principals and teachers will not be involved. There are thousands of private schools across the United States, nearly all of which have that structure. This is a loaded question that implies that private education would end that leadership structure which is *a lie.*

How do you feel about the concept of private entities taking over roles like education and healthcare?
@9HZCQ4ZRepublican2yrs2Y
I think that education and health care should be run by federal means in order to make sure no minorities are left out of these essential needs.

The United States is far too concerned with the "self" and privatization of everything under capitalism. I think capitalism has made every social interaction suspicious and has encouraged a general distrust of your neighbor because capitalism has made it very "us v.s them."

People should be allowed to live their lives the way they wish to, and without any community or individuals interfering in that. There are way too many people NOT minding their own business. if a person wishes to be sociable, great! But hey, no communes are required for people to live on each. The responsibility of all individuals are to obey the law and take care of their homes, both outside and inside. No such a hard thing to do. One thing I do NOT want to tolerate anymore is the all too close proximity of known sex offenders to communities with children and women. They should live where others like them live, like, on an island away from other people.

Without government regulations, how do you think society would address issues like environmental protection?
@GenX-gdi 2yrs2Y
I think you need some standard and baseline regulations. The EPA was created to deal with irresponsible practices from business and industry. The problem becomes, who regulates the regulators? Too many regulations squelches progress and too few creates health and environmental issues. No government agency should be too big and too powerful, especially at the federal level.
