You're mistaking social Darwinism with ethnic cleansing I believe. I'm against Nationalism fully & find such abhorrent things utterly disgusting & contemptible. Though I'm guessing you're liberal, therefore, the race card being brought up does not shock me.
I bring up the race issue, because it is a viable issue in this discussion. If we were to wake up tomorrow and simply have no government, instead the system which you propose, it would negatively impact racial minorities to a greater extent than whites. That is a valid assertion. Sure, Herman Cain would have no problem going about his daily life, but lots of other African Americans, Latinos, and other minorities would suffer in greater numbers than average white Americans in your proposed scenario.
Yet again, the masses do not concern anarcho-capitalists. This isn't a "worldly" point of view. This isn't for the collective or the common good. This is for fairness, freedom & survival of the fittest. So, let's say that certain minorities suffered as a result of the free-market, volunteerism & complete freedom. So fucking be it! I'm against theft, even if that means the masses do well under it's pretense.

I cannot say, since I haven't researched much in way of their political beliefs.
