Before you bring up slavery. Just keep in mind that slavery is a product of hierarchy, not anarchy. Slavery is not voluntary trade. It was a total violation of the natural rights our constitution is based on. So that was the exception to the ancap default.
I'm mean, not really. You could say that it's highly capitalistic but anachric in addition? Not really even close. The U.S. invaded Canada in the war of 1812, had a central bank, and most importantly had a government . None of that is in line with anachro-capitalism. Even if somehow you could get around those problems the post I was replying too said that Anarcho-Capitalism is one of the most frequently tried systems, so you would have to come up with several other examples when it was tried. I mean I think Anachro-capitalism is stupid and extremely flawed, but that isn't an excuse for historical ignorance.
