	modern 'anarcho capitalists' are fucking idiots, fake
	libertarians, corporate apologists and the like. 


	However, the liberal tradition based on common sense morality,
	rights to life, liberty and property, and its obvious anarchist
	(no state) conclusion isn't just a '19th' century political
	theory'. Not sure what you want to accomplish with that label...


	"A great part of that order which reigns among mankind is not
	the effect of government. It had its origin in the principles
	of society, and the natural constitution of man. It existed
	prior to government, and would exist if the formality of
	government was abolished. " 

	See? That's liberal anarchism. And that's not from the 19th
	century. That's paine's "Rights of Man" - 1791 - so it's 18th
	century. 


	And here's some more 18th century stuff 

	"... to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among
	Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the
	governed" 

	So, now, get this : no fucking CONSENT, no government. And of
	course the government created by the supreme scumabag(s)
	who wrote that was and is one the most corrupt and hypocritical
	tyrannys in history. 

	But regardless of the frauds involved with it,
	liberal/libertarian anarchism is a pretty solid 'theory'.
