Editing Anarcho-capitalism (section)

=== Rights and freedom ===
[[Negative and positive rights]] are rights that oblige either action (positive rights) or inaction (negative rights). Anarcho-capitalists believe that negative rights should be recognized as legitimate, but positive rights should be rejected as an intrusion. Some critics reject the distinction between positive and negative rights.<ref>Sterba, James P. (October 1994). "From Liberty to Welfare". Ethics. Cambridge: Blackwell). 105 (1): 237–241.</ref> [[Peter Marshall (author, born 1946)|Peter Marshall]] also states that the anarcho-capitalist definition of freedom is entirely [[Negative liberty|negative]] and that it cannot guarantee the [[positive freedom]] of individual autonomy and independence.<ref name="Marshall 1992" />

About anarcho-capitalism, [[anarcho-syndicalist]] and anti-capitalist intellectual [[Noam Chomsky]] says:

{{blockquote|Anarcho-capitalism, in my opinion, is a doctrinal system that, if ever implemented, would lead to forms of tyranny and oppression that have few counterparts in human history. There isn't the slightest possibility that its (in my view, horrendous) ideas would be implemented because they would quickly destroy any society that made this colossal error. The idea of "free contract" between the potentate and his starving subject is a sick joke, perhaps worth some moments in an academic seminar exploring the consequences of (in my view, absurd) ideas, but nowhere else.<ref>{{Cite web |date=23 December 1996 |title=On Anarchism: Noam Chomsky interviewed by Tom Lane |url=https://chomsky.info/19961223/ |access-date=9 January 2016 |website=chomsky.info |archive-date=6 March 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170306035307/https://chomsky.info/19961223/ |url-status=live }}</ref>}}
