Anarcho-capitalism[a] is an extreme-right political and economic ideology which, despite its name, is an extension of right-wing libertarianism with little relationship to anarchism.[1] Influenced by economists such as Murray Rothbard, supporters of this ideology believe that the state is the ultimate source of coercion in society and therefore must be abolished in place of a stateless and "voluntary" society. However, whenever it is a private entity in question, it can of course do no wrong as anybody contracting with these entities are doing so voluntarily and of their own free-will. Hence, under an anarcho-capitalist society, child slavery, human trafficking, and actions already legal in neoliberal society like mass-evictions of starving tenants would be perfectly fine and moral, according to the non-aggression principle, as these people had the option to starve to death or die of hypothermia.
