Re: why "anarcho-capitalism" is an oxymoron

To be really pedantic (but also precise) for a moment - I think the original
poster should have had "why anarcho-capitalism is a contradiction in terms"
. *Not* the same thing as an oxymoron! Thinking of it that way also makes it
easier to see what the argument is about, i.e. it's about the definition of
the two constituent terms "anarchy" and "capitalism". Either or both of
these can be defined in a way that makes their conjunction a CIT but if so
you should be explicit and honest that that's what you're doing. Steve
