    Do ancaps really have a fixation with The Revolution like leftists do? My understanding was that without a concept of collective action, the most radical praxis they have is tax avoidance. The ones that start to think "we oughta get together and overthrow the government" are usually halfway to fascism already.

      Tax avoidance and building a bunker hoping that "the collapse" will just happen and whoever's still alive when you come out will need to buy supplies you stockpiled and you can price gouge them.

      They love talking about the boogaloo

      But then again you did just say they're halfway to fascism, so I'm just repeating you

        Even boogaloo boys and militia movements (there are some distinctions) usually can't understand mass collective action. This means they are more prone to lone wolf/stochastic terrorist tactics, it at most gathering in small groups. This goes back to the fact that they have no intent to build a base among the masses, or theoretical understanding of the need for this, at least from what I can gather. I'm other words, they may be good at the actual violent actions, but not the other necessary parts of insurgency

      I can't speak on every ancap, but my former friend was 100% cryptofash. He's since fallen even deeper. So no he wasn't really interested in a revolution as much as an ethnostate full of white people.
