I had a funny road to becoming an AnCap. My mom is a republican, and my Dad is a democrat, and when they'd argue, I grew up thinking "You're BOTH wrong!", so my first 3 elections after turning 18 were for 3rd parties (Nader is who got me into politics). I considered myself a socialist and thought that corporations were the problem. Naturally, I was a Bernie Bro. I shed a tear watching him sell out and endorse Hillary Clinton when Wikileaks had shown the world what the DNC had done to him. Why wouldn't he fight it? I joined the Trump train out of pure SPITE. While browsing the Donald one day, there was a bitcoin post from Janet Yellen's hearing with the man in the back saying "Buy bitcoin" and I fell down a rabbit hole. I learned about economics, and emergent properties of markets, and how we don't even need a government in the first place. Anarcho capitalism is the way.

I thought it was pretty straightforward tbh.

I'm a minarchist but was once an AnCap
Minarchism is how we got into this mess in the first place.
I will not allow that slander against my preferred political philosophy!
Was the United States at it's founding not the textbook example of minarchism?
