Alt: "Choose your own radical identity" followed by an anarchist flag with half of it being blank. Next to it are crayons in different colors, referencing different anarchist orientations using different colours to fill the space. At the bottom it says: "A DIY activity book for ages 9-12"

Not with the half black flag it isn't, that's "an"caps.

Is that just extreme libertarianism? Legitimately curious.

Libertarianism has roots in leftism, actually, the Capitalists appropriated the word.

Either way, Anarcho-Capitalism is an ideology surrounding the magical idea that Capitalism can exist without a state. The delusional people that follow such an ideology like to imagine that security forces would be paid for, and somehow be better than public forces, in order to uphold the legitimacy of Private Property. They also foolishly believe that monopoly wouldn't happen because there isn't a state to prop them up.

AnCaps are just edgier libertarian Capitalists with even less common sense, surprisingly.

Less common sense and even more problematic attitudes about consent and age.

Somehow it always gets worse with them.
