Anarcho-capitalism is an individualist political philosophy that embraces stateless capitalism, and calls for the provision of all goods and services—including systems of jurisdiction, law enforcement, and territorial defense—by the free market. This philosophy argues that a free market system, based on private property, would maximize individual liberty and happiness. Further, anarcho-capitalism rejects the state as a coercive entity that engages in legal aggression, in the form of taxation and physical force. Anarcho-capitalists assert that property can only be legitimately obtained through trade, gift, or original appropriation and that each individual has the right to own the full product of his labor when applied to his own justly acquired property. Any property obtained by through the use of state coercion is considered stolen from the private sector. This embrace of unfettered capitalism leads to considerable tension between anarcho-capitalists and those anarchists who see the rejection of capitalism as being essential to anarchist philosophy, tantamount with rejection of the state.
