    Anarchy is more of a fundamental method of ruling/source of power/social policy. It’s neither left or right; and so different types of anarchy exist such as capitalist anarchy.

    Anarchist communism is what you’re technically referring to. Economic ideologies seem like the mixup here.

      Anarcho-capitalism is an oxymoron.

      As Wikipedia succinctly (and loosely) put it, anarchy is society without rulers - a society without authority or hierarchy. Authority and hierarchy would definitely be present in anarcho-capitalism. Wealth, power, and influence would likely still concentrate into the hands of the few (i.e. rulers).

      It’s essentially just capitalism without an official state and practices like regulation or reigning in corporate power. Corporations would function effectively as states in such a scenario.

        Anarcho-capitalism is an oxymoron

        The oxymoron definitely checks out after verification. So essentially anarcho-capitalism is a corporatocracy.
