I'm an "An"Cap. (That is a fan of Murray Rothbard, Hoppe, etc. I never liked Rothbard's half-serious attempt to hijack the A-word from the commies.)
But the way forward is not abolishing government but fragmenting it. Every major nation (Russia, China, USA, Ukraine, Turkey, Nigeria, etc) should be broken up into smaller parts - smaller governments are simply more responsive to market competition than large ones. And thousands (millions?) of new nations should be created, especially through seasteading.
When there's a zillion little Singapores, San Marinos, Liechtensteins, Kekistans, Ancapistans, Ronpaulvilles, Aynrandgrads, Tolkienshires, etc competing for people voting with their feet - that is the AnCap ideal, because all governance becomes voluntary.
Why do we need a government? Even a "small" one? What's the point? If they can force taxes on me and have a monopoly on violence then they violate your rights.
Secession is only the start. Fuck all government at every level. Freedom NOW
