Anarcho-Capitalism

AnCap, full name Anarcho-Capitalism, is an extreme libertarian, capitalist, culturally variable, yet usually progressive ideology, inhabiting the bottom right corner of the political compass. He believes in the elimination of a government in favor of a stateless society governed by voluntary associations and property rights, and a principle of non-aggression, known as the NAP (Non-Aggression Principle) enforced by private security and law services.

Libertarianism, Minarchism, and Anarcho-capitalism see taxation as a form of theft since they think that the government transgresses property rights by enforcing compulsory tax collection and they see it as a violation of the NAP but they three disagree on how much this has to be taken into consideration and reduced.

Proto-AnCap Societies
Anarcho-Capitalist intellectuals have identified a set of historical societies to be in essence Anarcho-Capitalist in practice, or have practiced Anarcho-Capitalist ideas. A relatively well-known example of proto-ancap society has been the Republic of Cospaia, an Italian micropolity which existed outside of the reaches of both the papal states and the Holy Roman Empire and existed from 1440 and 1826. Cospaia lacked any centralised body which specialised in the initialisation of forced payment on others, the closest body which Cospaia had for a state (The council of Elders and Family Heads) was financed through a contribution of it's volunteering members and only enforced its verdicts through disassociation.

Other examples of historical societies which practiced elements of anarcho-capitalist theory include the system of Brehon Law in Ireland said to be an example of private law and which lasted from around the Bronze to the interregnum of  Cromwell and the Italian city-state of Genoa which effectively practiced a system of private national defence.

Proto-Ancap Thinkers
There have been a number of individuals that have been described as being very similar to anarcho-capitalism in their thought, primarily in the classical liberal tradition.

A notable figure that has been identified as one of the first people to advocate for an anarcho-capitalist system in a modern form was the Belgian economist of the french liberal school Gustave De Molinari, known for advocating a competive market in the area of protection of life, liberty and property. Molinari was also an Abolitionist and a critic of the French Revolution and the policy of Statism it has brought.

A set of important figures to the development of Anarcho-Capitalist theory was the movement of Boston Anarchists, specifically Benjamin R. Tucker and Lysander Spooner, with Murray Rothbard calling them "unsurpassed as political philosophers".

Another figure who's political writings could be considered as partially proto-anarcho-capitalist is Herbert Spencer, who pondered on the question of whether the evolution of society under a free market would lead to the abolishment of the state, although he himself did not come to a conclusion of whether it would or would not happen.

AnCap will usually portrayed as AnCap Picardia memes personified, which tells you everything. His general absurd behavior is usually rationalized by the fact not a lot of people really wanting to believe in his ideology.

Stylistic Notes
This isn't Anarchyball, so no balding AnCap.

How to Draw
Drawing AnCap is very simple:

 * 3) Fill the space below the line the same color of the line and the space above the line yellow.
 * 4) Add the eyes, and you're done!
 * 5) Optionally, you can draw carryover hair. Normally there are 3.
