The State is the organisation of robbery systematised and writ large.
“…The State is the organisation of robbery systematised and writ large. The state is the only legal institution in society that acquires its revenue by the use of coercion, by using violence and threat of violence on its victims. The state is, therefore, a centralized, regularised organisation of theft”
(Murray Rothbard 1926-1995)
Anarcho-Capitalism (or market anarchism or rational anarchism) is the face of anarchism in the 21th century. This is a small page on the most prominent anarchist thinkers and links to relevant articles and interviews.
For the theoretical basis of market anarchism see Against Politics and to connect with the market anarchist community see Anti-State.com.
An Anarcho Capitalism FAQ is available in Dutch here.
