capitalism and opposed profit, rent and interest as forms
of exploitation. To state that there is a "right" anarchism

to anarchists to protest this stealing of our name by
(ironically enough) the defenders of private property!

Check of the anarchist FAQ at http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1931/
for a lengthy critique of "anarcho"-capitalism and its not anarchist.

Feel free to believe in whatever you want, just don't call it
