Why put a Noam Chomsky quote about the impracticality and potential consequences of anarcho-capitalism in a section about rights? Either the section should have a different title and idfferent content introducing the quote, maybe "practical possibility and implications", or just drop the quote, which is pretty vague and lacking any real information? The sentence before the quote is "Some critics, including Noam Chomsky, reject the distinction between positive and negative rights." This would lead the reader to expect a quote where Chomsky either discusses the irrelevance of the distinction between positive and negative rights, or the invalidity of the ancap case that only negative rights count. Instead, he just basically says he thinks ancap is stupid and will never be implemented and would cause a disaster if it was. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.171.156.23 (talk) 19:48, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

This section seems to be WP:OR as none of the quotes referenced mention anarcho-capitalism; furthermore, some sources placed there that I've checked don't either. I've tagged it with a template for now, but might need to remove the section if it's not improved. BeŻet (talk) 12:42, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
Similarly, I've removed all content in Somalia's section that doesn't reference anarcho-capitalism. BeŻet (talk) 13:06, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
What's the point in stating in the lead that anarcho-capitalism is a "modern school of anarchist thought" when there's a note that literally states "The wider anarchist movement rejects anarcho-capitalism as a form of anarchism, see Anarcho-capitalism and other anarchist schools"? It should just states "Anarcho-capitalism is a political philosophy and economic theory". There're Anarchism and capitalism and Issues in anarchism that can discuss that with more informations and better clarifications; we don't need to put anarcho-capitalism and anarchism everywhere, especially when "[t]he wider anarchist movement rejects anarcho-capitalism as a form of anarchism", which reliable sources generally agree/support. Anyway, this article still has multiple issues, @Czar: maybe you can do something about it?--Davide King (talk) 08:10, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
