Anarcho-Capitalism

Anarcho-Capitalism (AnCap) also called Private Property Anarchy, Private Law Society and Rothbardianism as well a bunch of other names is a political ideology as well as a theoretical social order based around Classical Liberal conception of property rights, individualism and rejection of state but lead to the extreme, in favour of a market-based alternative for all services the state currently provide, including national defense, roads, education, law (Through a system called "Polycentric law" based partially or completely on the Non-agression Principle), etc...

On the political compass diagram anarcho-capitalism is consistently identified as being on the absolute bottom and on the absolute (economic) right, with the only ideology surpassing it on both regards being the fictional ideology of Avaritionism, on cultural regards it is ambiguous and varies from person to person.

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 as well as the Italian city-state of Genoa which effectively practiced a system of private national defence. By far the most well-known example of a Proto-Anarcho-Capitalist society has been the Icelandic Commonwealth (less formally known as medieval Iceland).

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 (1819-1912), known for advocating a competitive market in the area of production of security services. Molinari was also an abolitionist and a critic of the French Revolution and the policy of  Statism it had brought.

A set of important figures to the development of anarcho-capitalist theory was the movement of Boston Anarchists, specifically Benjamin R. Tucker (1854-1939) and Lysander Spooner (1808-1887), who Murray Rothbard refer to as "unsurpassed as political philosophers".

Another figure who's political writings could be considered as partially proto-anarcho-capitalist is Herbert Spencer (1820-1903), 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.

Auberon Herbert (1834-1906) who was largely inspired Herbert Spencer's writings is a figure who is also considered a proto-anarcho-capitalist. Herbert is known to be the first person to use the term "Voluntarism" (or rather "Voluntaryism") within a political context, a term used by followers of Anarcho-Capitalism and other Libertarian Schools of thought to this day. Auberon Herbert's doctrine is based on the complete voluntarisation of the role of government authority and creation of a system of "voluntary taxation" and the creation of a system based first and foremost on private property and self-ownership. Although Herbert largely dismissed the title of "anarchist" he was described as a "true anarchist in everything but name" by Benjamin Tucker.

Lastly, out of proto-anarcho-capitalist figures there is the American Geolibertarian author Albert Jay Nock (1870-1945), who's politics are often described as  Anarcho-Conservative. Nock has criticized all forms of Economic Interventionism both in the form of  Soviet Communism and the  Social Democratic policies of the New Deal.

Foundations and Beliefs
W.I.P.

Personality and Behaviour
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
Ancap_flag.svg The flag of anarcho-capitalism is a diagonal bicolour of Gold and Black, representing Capitalism (and hard money) and  Anarchism respectively. The origins of the flag of anarcho-capitalism date back to Robert LeFevre's 'Freedom School' in Colorado which in the years 1963-1964 held a winter and spring long 'Phrontistery' in which the Anarcho-Capitalist flag was first shown in public. And you should be done.
 * 1) Draw a ball with eyes.
 * 2) Draw a diagonal Bicolour with Gold or Yellow at the top and Black at the bottom.
