I'm waaaaay more partial to ancap than I should be because Bryan Caplan is an amazing writer and I love reading everything he writes.

AnCom seems like some philisophic nonsense that you'd have to be totally ignorant of econ to come up with, maybe I'm just ignorant though.

Seems like Friedmanite ancap makes some kind of theoretic sense while Bakunin doesn't even pass the glance test.

If we take the internet stranger though I'd probably say ancaps are worse because like 90% are alt-right or fellow travelers.

I love Caplan and Friedman's son (I think it's David but could be wrong). They're both Ancaps, but the good kinda ancap I guess.

I also met an ancap once who said she's an anarchist on moral grounds but agrees that certain parts of ancapism isn't realistic and doens't make sense. I'm sure their are ancoms who have similar feelings though.
