Conservatives are not people

Just a quick reminder. They are a disease to be purged. Nothing more.

University is not a financially lucrative investment while you are in it...
I don't feel like the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" addage applies here, but Yeah, fuck trans- and homophobes. And racists. And basically everything conservatives stand for. (Although that includes neoliberalism, which is ancap with a red bowtie, so... make of that what you will)
I could go into more detail on agorism if you'd like.
What agorism/ancap/anarcho-capitalism is about begins with the Non-Aggression Principle or NAP. The principle states that you can't enact aggression or unjust force upon someone. If someone does violate the NAP people are allowed do defend themselves from that person and punish them accordingly. Self Defense includes deadly force if necessary. For example don't murder, rape, assault, kidnap, steal etc. especially stealing, that last one is important.
Government of any kind, inherently violates this principle because it enacts aggression with its existence. A government's existence is aggressive because it rules over people without consent and funds itself with taxes which are unconsensual as well. Taxation is theft/robbery/extortion what have you.
Voting/elections/democracy/constitution republics/etc. don't count as consent since voters vote to have politicians control people even if they don't vote or vote the other way.
Now if who to lead people was done by a voluntary contract instead, that would be consent.
What people would be able to do without a tyrannical system known as government is to voluntary trade as well as live their peaceful lives. They would be able to trade without fear of taxes, subsidies, bailouts, regulatory capture, etc. that that government would otherwise cause to exist. Self defense would be available in the form of private gun ownership, private security, private police, private military, militias and any voluntary people to defend themselves and others.
Here's a great video to start out with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWUh5ynCqfU
Here's a list I have an ancap channels that support and are all about the philosophy including one more. Some have been abandoned deleted though so just click on one that works to continue.
Hope this helps.

As for my next point, I'd like to stress i am not rewording your line to mock you, but because it is the best way to put my point.
"An unregulated business's existence is aggressive because it rules over people without consent through their wages, and funds itself with value of labour alienated from the workers which are coerced as well (Yes, you did sign a contract. But because you had no other options. Work for whatever they offer, or starve to death. It's not a real choice.) Labour alienation is theft/robbery/extortion what have you."
(As an addendum, you can always seek a company that pays better. But that's relative. Let's say You need to earn 100 furcoins an hour to have a secure existence. A company only offers 50 an hour, because there is no regulation for minimum wage? Time to look for a better company! Awesome, we found one that offest a whopping 50% more! Which is still just 75. Eat or pay rent... Eat, or pay rent... so hard ot decide... The workforce in an economy always starts with a major disadvantage: if you don't earn anything, you and your family will starve, and become homeless. Sooner or later, you run out of options to browse, and when your kids are playing imaginary dinner, you WILL take that 75 furcoin job. Supply and demand will find a common point on that graph... but when it comes to workforce, there is a massive oversupply, and a vast majority of people can't afford to get better training neither in time nor money.)
"Board of Directors/Investors/HR complaint department/etc. making contracts don't count as consent since workers can't even have a say in who controls them and other peope, and the income they generate, from which they only see a fraction."
"What people would be able to do without a tyrannical system known as unregulated free market is to profit more fairly from their labour, and avoid exploitation of their vulnerable circumstance, and live their peaceful lives. They would be able to live without fear of evictions, medical bankcrupcies, have access to education without crushing debt (that further forces them to settle for worse wages btw), bad working conditions, etc. that that companies chasing profit maximalizations would otherwise cause to exist."
i don't think private police would be any better than government ran policeThey can still discriminate, make the same mistakes, do the same injustice. As for private gun ownership and militias... Yeah, sure, nothing is better then a lynch mob riled up by private news stations spewing whatever sells (Which just happen to be bad news about crime) .
Anarcho-capitalism is the purest form of darwinian laws. I love nature as much as the next guy... but there is such a thing as apex predators, and animals that die in drows to them.
What are you btw?
How to say it... An-cap miiight could work for a very differently minded species. But you'll never teach a pack of rabid wolves to responsibly herd sheep.
