Let me put it this way.

According to Anarcho-Capitalism, my life is not worth even the smallest sliver of involuntary suffering by the wealthy.  It’s worth nothing.  Zip.  Zilch.  Nada.

Under Anarcho-Capitalism, it is impermissible for me to perform even the smallest violation to the point that I could be on a garden world owned by one man, take a loaf of bread that he doesn’t even consciously know exists, for my own survival, and it’s a total violation.

It’s very difficult for me not to take that as personally insulting, especially as someone who has experienced how deeply biological (and thus relatively arbitrarily distributed) executive functioning is.

Private charity is never going to hit 30-40% of GDP, even if the state were abolished, unless it isn’t really voluntary.

And let’s not even pretend that AnCap would turn out Consequentialist in practice.  It won’t.  That is not how people work, that is not how businesses work, that is not how land works, that is not how pollution works, and so on.  If people were that scrupulous, Communism would not have been such a disaster.

Various Consequentialisms do not think my life has zero value.  They may say that I can’t steal the bread because there isn’t enough bread and it would collapse the economy.  They may say the same thing about taxes and medical operations.  But it’s trading for something of greater value than “lol I don’t want to and property is absolute”.

And that is far, far more acceptable to me.  Especially because executive functioning and everything else was never distributed fairly at the very start.
