Anarchist Capitalism, or Voluntarism, or Free Market Anarchism, is the promotion of Human Agency as the primary axiom for determining what should be considered Legal. It is an objective legal theory, and resulting practice.

1. Laws are by definition a form of conflict resolution. When two people decide not to fight over resources, and instead negotiate, they can objectively evaluate the status of an action. This evaluation is independent of their opinions, it is derived objectively.

2. Body Autonomy necessarily leads to Homesteading as the only consistent definition of Property. When a person finds a resource in nature and works to modify and utilize it, they mix their labor with the resource. Anyone that shows up afterwards and challenges said ownership, is in fact placing a claim on this labor, and as consequence, on the body of the other person. The first person to find and utilize a resource is therefore the rightful owner.

3. Free Trade (and Inheritance) is therefore the only other legal way property can be obtained. A person can trade goods for goods, or offer their help for a fixed price per time period.

4. Aggression can therefore be defined as the initiation of violence that undermines another person's body autonomy. "Might Makes Right" is simply conflict, even if it masquerades as "law". Violence is only acceptable as a defense against aggression (this includes the ability to respond to threats before they deal damage, it is not pacifism). Anyone trying to justify Aggression has abandoned conflict resolution, and is defending being an outlaw.

These are, in my opinion, the necessary building blocks from which you can understand how Libertarians are different:

The State, as opposed to a Government, is an inherently illegal structure, defined by being based on Violence, where, at best the majority vote to abuse the minority, and, more typically, a minority of oligarch dominate everyone. The State, when analyzed consistently, is a form of progressive enslavement.

Some Libertarians believe that a Small State (a small amount of illegal and aggressive activity) is both possible to contain, and justified by some utilitarian calculus. They are Minarchists, and where many people start before they read the literature.

Some Libertarians believe that Reducing the State is a necessary step in the gradual conversion of society towards functional Anarchism, and get involved in State Politics to mitigate the damage, and fight the system from within. They can be consistent Anarchists if they indeed act to dismantle the state.

It is important to understand a distinction:

A Legal Government is one that is established by Property Owners to manage their own property. This can be a Private Property (Head of Family as owner), or a Covenant Community (Shareholders as owners, organized as they wish). (ref: Hoppe, "Getting Libertarianism Right").

Q: Who will build roads? A: Private companies (see Turnpike Roads, UK prior to 1880's; Covenant communities may require maintenance fees as part of the shareholder agreement).

Q: Who will provide healthcare? A: Private individuals and voluntary groups (look at the history of Lodge Doctors for one functional solution; look HSA's and groups like CrowdHealth). Insurance services work great when they are not distorted by State meddling.

Q: How is this different from the State and the Social Contract? A: It is voluntary, with Explicit contracts evaluated objectively for legality. The illusory "Social Contract" can be freely interpreted to go from as little as a 1% tax, to as much as Military Conscription (100% tax). Supporters of this concept are telling you they reserve the right to enslave you, either gradually or whenever they deem it necessary.

A State can always manufacture a vote to deprive you of your most basic right, and prevent you from leaving. A Covenant cannot prevent you from selling your share and moving to a competing community, or purchasing land independently and establishing your own.

Whenever a question is asked about how things are to be done - the fundamental answer is "The market, the people working within it, will read price signals to determine what services are needed and provide them".

However, since that seems alien to most people, and successful examples are carefully ignored by statist "educators", Free Market advocates must provide robust proposals, likely solutions, and examine past and present examples that achieve success. This is what is done in MISES institute, by popularizers and debaters.

I know this ended up being quite lengthy, but I hope the details are sufficiently interesting. I'm open to further questions and criticism.
