Anarcho-Capitalism deals with fostering an environment of non-coercion that will allow individuals to trade their abilities and their services in exchange for those services and products they need or want. Many people who are unhealthy and emotional are likely to have family and friends upon whom they can depend. Those who do not will be able to find more charity in a society based on non-coercion (i.e no taxation). The charity will often come from businesses, and businesses that are not at the whim of a few people who control the flow of money from the top of an oligarchy, are more likely to be growing. Hence, they will be looking to fill the ranks of their business needs and more willing to spend money on training and education.

Early socialists also assumed that given the option for an ordered, collective society, individuals would voluntarily submit to the demands of the group. In addition, they believed that goodness and kindness was an intrinsic property of humanity. Anarcho-capitalism does not make that assumption. Rather it seeks to allow individuals to regulate other individuals through free trade of goods, of services, and of information.

There are dynamics to any complex system. The beauty of the anarcho-capitalist model is its flexibility that allows the participants to correct the system. The choices are made by individuals who can cooperate and/or compete.

How about North America?

The "others" who appreciate what you're doing will surely pay for your services in a free market, and I will only have to pay for what I need and want. We're working on it.
