Minarchism

Minarchism, also known as Minarcho-Capitalism, is a highly libertarian, economically far-right and culturally variable ideology who inhabits a place close to the bottom-right of the political compass. He believes in laissez-faire capitalism, as well as the most minimal government possible, desiring the government to act as a "night-watchman state" which should only exist to provide military, courts and law enforcement, intended to enforce property rights and the NAP (Non-Aggression Principle), with all other functions of a government left to the invisible hand of the free market.

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.

History
As a term, night-watchman state (German: Nachtwächterstaat) was coined by German socialist Ferdinand Lassalle in an 1862 speech in Berlin. He criticized the bourgeois liberal limited government state, comparing it to a night-watchman whose sole duty was preventing theft. The phrase quickly caught on as a description of capitalist government, even as liberalism began to mean a more involved state, or a state with a larger sphere of responsibility.

Ludwig von Mises later opined that Lassalle tried to make limited government look ridiculous, but that it was no more ridiculous than governments that concerned themselves with "the preparation of sauerkraut, with the manufacture of trouser buttons, or with the publication of newspapers".

Proponents of the night-watchman state are minarchists, a portmanteau of minimum and -archy. Arche (/ˈɑːrki/; Ancient Greek: ἀρχή) is a Greek word which came to mean "first place, power", "method of government", "empire, realm", "authorities" (in plural: ἀρχαί), or "command".[13] The term minarchist was coined by Samuel Edward Konkin III in 1980.

Personality and Behavior
Minarchism is often seen as Anarcho-Capitalism's less interesting, but more mature, older brother. He has a strong urge to defend himself (see picture above) from perceived aggression from statists and other enemies and is often preoccupied with enforcing the NAP, perhaps even more so than Libertarianism. Minarchism is also extremely passionate about property rights and protecting the free market from any government interference.
