According to ancaps, this doesn't violate the non-aggression principle. |
Ancaps hate democracy and want non-democratic forms of government including fascism.
"The development of the state in bourgeois society differs from the nature of the state in feudal society. In feudal society, the lowliest serf who is kept in poverty tilling his little strip of land and forced to bring in the harvest for the local noble, give a tenth of his product to the Church and pay taxes to keep the Royal court in luxury is nevertheless seen as part of the state. The state does not present itself as a force standing above society, but rather, it is identical with society. That the state is a system of violence for maintaining the conditions of exploitation remains the case, but it achieves that task quite differently." 1
Ancaps have no interest in royalty or religion. They want to own land (stolen from others) and slave-labour to work the land. Their ideal conditions are the secular republic that protects the rights of the slave-makers and property owners such as in the early days of the United States when direct slavery was acceptable.
"Feudal society differs from slave society in that every class in feudal society has rights and is regarded as human, however lowly, whereas slaves have no rights at all and are treated as property rather than people." 3
Ancaps are obsessed with property and though they don't say so outright anymore, it's obvious they still want to own other human beings. Many people assume that "anarcho"-capitalism is feudalism, but it's actually worse than that. It's land theft and direct slavery.
"The slave societies in the Americas were the most thorough going and repressive in history. While the Middle American Incans, Mayans, Aztecs, and others practiced slavery to certain limited extents, the arrival of white Europeans brought with it a combination of mass genocide, terror, and slavery on a scale humanity has not seen since. In the United States of America, the first slaves were captured in Africa and carried over the Atlantic in the most barbarous conditions in 1619. Only half of the people imprisoned in slave ships survived the journey. The slave population of the American South varied form one third to two thirds of the total population until the end of legalized slavery came in the US Civil War, in 1865. Meanwhile, in the 1700s, Jamaica, Antigua, and Grenada were over 90 per cent slaves, while the more industrialised island of Cuba enslaved a comparatively modest one third of its population [the native populations of these islands were thus nearly completely exterminated in mass genocide by Europeans]. In Brazil, over half the population were slaves primarily working on coffee plantations in around 1800." 3
