These loons believe in some very far out ideas and it's time to make fun of them. They are on Reddit first and foremost. I'm in a rush but I want to get the basic gist of this spergy movement out of the way.
This whole Reddit page is spergy as fuck fam.
From my favorite Rothbardian nutjob Lew Rockwell:
https://mises.org/library/why-i-am-anarcho-capitalist
A great many people — more than ever, probably — describe themselves as supporters of the free market today, in spite of the unrelenting propaganda against it. And that’s great. Those statements of support, however, are followed by the inevitable but: but we need government to provide physical security and dispute resolution, the most critical services of all.
Almost without a thought, people who otherwise support the market want to assign to government the production of the most important goods and services. Many favor a government or government-delegated monopoly on the production of money, and all support a government monopoly on the production of law and protection services.
Rothbardianism is a whole different animal of batshit crazy IMO.
How do we in the Rothbardian camp view the state? Not as the indispensable provider of law and order, or security, or other so-called “public goods.” (The whole theory of public goods is shot through with fallacies anyway.) The state, rather, is a parasitic institution that lives off the wealth of its subjects, concealing its anti-social, predatory nature beneath a public-interest veneer. It is, as Oppenheimer said, the organization of the political means to wealth. “The State,” wrote Rothbard,
Murray Rothbard himself said some really wild things in his time like this choice quote:
This can be illustrated in Rothbard’s argument for why parents should actually have the legal right not to feed their children and even kill them by starvation or neglect:
“Suppose now that the baby has been born. Then what? First, we may say that the parents-or rather the mother, who is the only certain and visible parent-as the creators of the baby become its owners. A newborn baby cannot be an existent self-owner in any sense. Therefore, either the mother or some other party or parties may be the baby’s owner, but to assert that a third party can claim his ‘ownership’ over the baby would give that person the right to seize the baby by force from its natural or ‘homesteading’ owner, its mother. The mother, then, is the natural and rightful owner of the baby, and any attempt to seize the baby by force is an invasion of her property right."
There's a lot more of this bizarre shit out there, I'm sure, especially on Tumblr where you might find some more of these clowns to make fun of.
There's even different kinds of anarcho-capitalism too. It's all really spergy shit but the Rothbard followers have the craziest ideas.
Adam Kokesh is one of the biggest retards of this movement that I know of:

This was when he got arrested a few years ago.

This is an anarcho-capitalist Tumblr, but this person claims to be of the David Friedman variant, which is less lulzy than the Rothbardian strain but still kinda out there nonetheless. David Friedman is the son of the late monetarist economist Milton Friedman.

Walter Block is a huge idiot too.

So is Hans-Herman Hoppe.
