Spooner
Spooner was an entrepreneur. He believed everyone should be an entrepreneur to the extent possible. Correct me if I am wrong, but entrepreneurs are Individualists not Collectivists.

Spooner was also in favor of intellectual property. Does that make him an Objectivist?

Spooner is only “anti-capitalist” if you use Marx’s antiquated definition of capitalism. He believed in private property, and the private, individual ownership of the means of production.

IDK what it is with you “lleftists”. Anarcho-capitalism is simply totally free markets. Either people are free to exchange goods and services without 3rd party interference, or they are not. I prefer to own my own home and land, and my own tools of my trade. I work for clients. I may hire a part time helper or a full time apprentice. If my workload becomes more than I can handle, I may hire [wage slaves] or sub contract the work out for a 12% finders fee. If you do not like the terms of my offer, negotiate, or walk away and start your own business and put me out of business. Whatever decision you make for yourself, is entirely your decision. You can be an entrepreneur, you can be an investor, you can be a part owner of a worker co-op or you can be part of a (mostly) self-sufficient commune. These are all *personal preferences* and no relevance in describing “anarchy”.
