*Forgive me this is wordy but I don't want to be misunderstood! >.<
Under anarcho-capitalism WE would be the government, think of it this way, the federal government and the states have the most say in America they are the top two levels of the pyramid: federal, states, counties, cities, districts, citizens. They tax us against our will but we cannot monitor our government because congress is corrupt, our leaders spend our money on wars that congress doesn't even agree to, under capitalism we have no say. Take that pyramid turn it upside down, the majority or certain people that want government decide the leader or committee of leaders. However those leaders will have NO SAY in business ventures that much must be understood, it would be a free market of voluntary exchange run by ALL the individuals of the new and rightful top of the pyramid, this way the new leader/leaders couldn't abuse their power anyway! How can you call what we have now a free market economy, a TRUE free market economy needs no regulation, it probably wouldn't have any problems in the first place without rich bankers spending our money on vacations and the government reimbursing them.
One can choose to live whatever kind of life he/she wants under anarcho-capitalism, live in complete chaos on the same land as your neighbor or simply ignore the decisions of the individuals put in power by the actual community, and you won't be punished by corrupt authority run by corrupt leaders. Retribution could be exacted voluntarily if one is wronged, but the things that cause crime, mostly poverty, will eradicated. Most of the world's problems are caused by its leaders not the starving masses acting on instinct to survive. Would that really cause more problems than we have now? No one person elected in the case of capitalism or unelected in the case of communism/facism deserves to tell us what to do, we are the masters of our own destiny, and money should not be motivation to be a leader, it should be done out of altruism. There is private property in anarcho-capitalism that does not belong to anybody but you.
It's not that I want the government eradicated completely, I just want them to have FAR less power and in some cases none at all. The individual is king, a kind of structured anarchy.
