Ancaps often do believe real capitalism has existed, but like in specific villages in ancient Iceland where stepping into someone else's front yard was punishable by death. And also there were slaves.

Getting eaten by bears is too honorable a death for them

Honestly a fantastic example of why anarchocapitalism type shit doesn't work. The Sturlung Era was marked by constant violence and political instability between feuding clans until Norway showed up and rolled the whole country into its kingdom

Ancaps really have just taken that American hyperindividualism to its most absurd extreme. They won't be a slave working in the coca cola mines, because they're the main character of reality, and the only reason they aren't a big billionaire right now is because of the pesky government keeping them down.
