    “Right-wing anarchists” makes me wanna puke. I think libertarian freestaters is probably a more accurate name.

      Maybe “Societal Collapse Accelerationists” would have been more clear. But accelerationist is the key word here.

      I wanted to make it clear I was not talking about Marxist Accelerationism (the OG)

      Anarcho-capitalists have been around for a long time. I think they usually call themselves libertarian.

      I get the hypocrisy, but they don’t.

        Not relative to anarchism. “Anarcho-capitalism” is a very recent recuperation/oxymoron of an ideology that has been anti-capitalist from inception. They’ll try to recuperate people from the 1800s or whatever but that’s just more nonsense.

          Hypocrisy, like I said. I know it’s an oxymoron, you know it’s an oxymoron, but that doesn’t stop them from co-opting the term and confusing people.
