If you have a piece of paper originally from a feudal lord or State 
that grants you to a perpetual monopoly on the ground we stand 
on, then, yep, we got us an elite.

They simply refuse to notice that State support of Land grants/ fief-
simple titles, and monopolies such as patents and copyright are all 
Statist interventions in human action, and downright feudal in 
nature.

That and not admitting that a "Corporation" is a State created 
fictional entity designed to prevent corporate victims from holding 
investors responsible for their actions....

No... if an anarcho-capitalist is serious about anarchism, he'll 
realize that big-money Capitalism requires massive State 
intervention, and will stop calling himself a capitalist...
