AnCaps are basically Anarchism minus the political theory (aka all the core fundemental values of Anarchism) and with too much economic theory from Murray Rothbard ("free market" capitalism). The best thing I can say about them is that most of them grow out of it and choose an actual version of Anarchism as soon as they're exposed to theory (at least I did and now I'm an AnSynd).

Great that you made the turnaround, but what you describe is only true for the many confused online ancaps that usually ended up there through the bitcoin pyramid scheme propaganda pipeline.

There is a different group often condidered to have been started by Murray Rothbard that have a well defined ideological basis for which they try to appropriate terms like "Libertarian" and "Anarchist" but which has nothing to do with the original meaning of these words. This group is well funded by oligarchs and serves as the ideological think-tank to justify the massive theft of these very same oligarchs.

These justifications are in turn often uncritically lapped up by the first group.
