Right-Wing (Rightist) Anarcho-capitalism is NOT the right-minarchists enemy!!

For as long as right-libertarians have existed there has been an internal fight between right-market anarchists and the right-minarchists. Constantly minarchists on the Right are called Statist by right-market anarchists (anarcho-capitalism). Meanwhile right-minarchists call right-anarchists Utopian. 

I want to start off by pointing out that both views are different ways of interpretation of the logical end of supporting the Non-aggression or Non-Initiation of Force principles. Minarchists believe you cannot enforce the NAP without having a minimal state existing; funded Ideally through voluntary or at least pseudo-voluntary means such as a single tax that is as close to a user fee as possible. Best described by the Federal Libertarian Party here in Canada. 

"Taxation—such as income, corporate, carbon, and capital gains taxes—are theft, taking justly earned money by force. We aim to eliminate these, replacing them with a voluntary head tax, direct payments for services, and crowdfunding. Keeping earnings in Canadians’ pockets will boost saving, investment, production, and consumption, energizing the economy. During the transition, a 5% GST will fund military, police, and courts, acting as a semi-voluntary tax tied to consumer choice."

Meanwhile right-minarchists misunderstanding anarcho-capitalism think that traditionalist Rothbardian anarcho-capitalism calls for no laws and for privatizing what will be legal or not which it never has. As someone that has been both a Biblical/Christian Anarcho-conservative/Anarcho-Capitalist we did not and do not call for no laws.

Rothbard himself called right wing anarchism a society where all initiation of force is outlawed by an agreed upon libertarian legal code. Once codified that all initiations of force or threats thereof is banished from society. A completely privatized and non monopoly free market in rent a cops, insurance agencies, cooperatives, corporations and mutual aid agencies will take over all things that is currently done by a monopoly on the initiation of force without any force and coercion within society.

I would be happy and feel safe in either a right-minarchist society or a right-anarcho-capitalism society. I also think both are equally welcomed in the broader Biblical/Christian libertarian spectrum of views. As well as are equally moral views of society based on our shared commitment to the non-aggression or non-initiation of force principles. We can discuss and debate which is the correct view, but I will not throw either view off the Christian libertarian bus.
